I'm planning on taking a break in the area later this year and considering doing a Castle Combe experience day, either Lotus Elise Sports & Racing or Sports Saloon Advanced

I've never been to Castle Combe circuit before so I would appreciate any input from people who have driven this track already or have been on one of these courses, since my track experience has been limited to Knockhill in Fife (one hot hatch track day, one Formula Ford experience and one Jaguar E-Type experience)

    2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto
    1983 Ford Sierra XR4i
    2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118
    1999 BMW 323Ci
    1995 BMW 318i SE
    1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS
    1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX
    1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX
    1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL
    1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly

I don't know how they run the courses, but I have heard of no complaints. There is not much in the way of run off areas, it is a fast circuit with different bends having different cambers, etc. I personally like the circuit, but more so before they put in the 2 chicanes. But thats my opinion.

Great circuit, friendly people, not bad food either!

I've been considering the super saloon course, however i cant take  my mind off the fact you get about 10 laps for more than it costs to do a whole track day there :( Then again
