Final Class F Battle - Castle Combe Hot Hatch Oct 5th
The final round of the first year of Castle Combe Hot Hatch Championship was bitter sweet for Class F drivers with engine swapped cars as our class has been outlawed for the next season. 6 drivers jumped in their cars to do battle one last time at the South-West Circuit on the front of a 30 car grid and boy did we do battle. By the the best race I have had all year mixing it with Shaun Goverd for the lead.

Broken Gears at the front of a Grid - Castle Combe Hot Hatch
Переглядів 643 місяці тому
Probably the most terrifying moment I have had on a track in my life. 2nd row start on a 30 car grid and one of the gear selector cables breaks when launching 1st to 2nd. Having cars pass you like that when you are helpless isn't ideal. Thanks to all the savvy drivers who managed to miss me.

By far the worst start I have ever had in racing putting us back to 7th on the first lap before making our way back up to 2nd overall and chasing down Shaun in his Citroen AX. Sadly the race was cut short with a red flag.

Castle Combe Hot Hatch - August 3rd - Race 1 - 2nd Overall - 1:13.2 Best Lap Thanks to Ethan and Wiltshire College we were able to tame some of the soft limiter issues we were getting today, but they did still occur in all our sessions.

With more power and a bit less weight in the mighty EF Civic, for the first time this season a fully dry track I had no excuses for not improving my lap times in the dry this meeting. Now I had some trust in the car, I knew I had areas around the track I could make improvements. I focused on braking later into Quarry Corner and Ethan persuaded me to stay up a gear into camp corner, basically I ...
Alfa Romeo 33 S1 Does Battle For The First Time in Castle Combe Hot Hatch
Переглядів 2346 місяців тому
Well, what can we say, the Alfa did us proud today after making a few changes in the lead up to our first ever race day, with a fresh set of Dunlop tyres we managed a 10th out of 30 cars for qualifying with a new PB of 1:16.4 from the little flat four 8V, over a second quicker than our previous PB. It was a nervous build up to Race 1 but it stayed dry, Not quite giving it enough revs off the st...

A change of pace last weekend as we attended a new event at Castle Combe called Masters of Motoring. We attended to promote Wiltshire College Motorsport and do a few sessions on track with some pretty interesting machinery. In this session the brand new Lotus GT4 was particularly fast on slicks. The car ran spot on and is ready for our next races on June 16th.

Great to welcome previous European Rally Champion Chris Ingram to Bont Rally Stage for the first time for a Jim Clark Rally Shakedown with Melvyn Evans Motorsport VW Polo R5. You'd have thought Chris had been to the stage a hundred times as he took to the West Wales tarmac like a duck to water. Good luck in this years BRC!

Evo Rally Car Vs Impreza Rally Car Ice Drive Sweden
Переглядів 10810 місяців тому
One of our hire cars for day 1 on the lake with Ice Drive Sweden was their GrpN Mitusbishi Evo VII with plated diffs and ACD. We all had 15 minutes tuition as part of the car hire which was very helpful. Some rain during the day made it very slushy on the ice making for increasingly challenging conditions with huge grip variations. These few laps were huge fun chasing some Scots in an Impreza R...

Wow that was a great battle
Great to see the Alfa being so competitive

I know this is a while back, but do you happen to know what Rainsports this was running and what size? - It seems to be doing fairly well in the wet
Most people run a Rainsport 4 or 5. This would have been on 17's. Generally the thinner the better for wet use as they don't sit on water so much
@@slipgripautomotive5929 Great, thanks for the reply!
Awesome stuff mate
Nice piloting

That's a lot of tires.
Excellent. 90's Rovers, such underrated cars
Was this the car he had a huge crash in on the Isle of man ?
That was in his Rally2 Fiesta rather than the focus
@slipgripautomotive5929 nah 100% was that gen focus , he was only 18 or 19 or so if I remember correctly . Had a couple of offs that rally but had a rally ender down the road from my house in it . Was long before rally 2 was a thing
Was a ramsport car
Ahh sorry I thought you meant 2023
Putting the camera on top of the car was a masterstroke
The wind noise is a pain though. If I get time I usually put one in the car as well and then edit it to switch between the two when the wind gets to much.
I notice the Porch (sic) can't seem to drop the (998cc?) Imp in the corners.
Fast car with a fast driver :)
@@slipgripautomotive5929 I know how fast a good Imp in the right hands is. I grew up watching Ian Forrest in the Drambuie Imp.
Wait... right handed S5? Was It built for Colin? I've only seen him drive a left handed Subaru
God I miss N4 so much 😢
no onboard 😢
When the car is next testing will do a better one
A beautiful car and video, thank you.
Thanks very much :)
Alfisti persempre 🍀👍
Damn... I want to be a landowner.
Would be hard pushed to get permission for a stage like this these days sadly, which is why Bont Rally Stage is such a gem :)
What's the roof scoop made from an old margarine tub
Something as light as possible so quite possibly ;)
excellent camera work
Think my mate built the shell at m sport
One of my favourite rally cars❤
Markko Martin won 5 rallies with that car twice in 2003 which is acropolis and Finland and 3 times in 2004 which is Mexico france and spain
Thanks great kowledge

Who owns this car ?
Sorry I can't remember off the top of my head.
👍🏻👍🏻💥
thought about selling?
It sold a company in Bristol that were going to convert it to electric
Civics always look good on white and black wheels
Nice driving Michael 👍🏻
This is f'n awesome
🥰🥰🥰
Be cool to see a peddle cam next time this was great 🤙🏼
Will try and remember to stick one in
"PromoSM"
Great to see this car being used again - nothing worse than a once legendary car being left in some dusty corner forgotten. She needs to be out, getting seen, being used and enjoyed and hats off to you lads making this happen - She is still a legendary car 20 years on ! The ultimate incarnation of the 1.5 Focus - has she the inlet air accumulator in behind the back bumper still ? I swear the US Focus has a better looking bumper 😅
Seeing cars like this make running the venue worth while. We even ha da ride in it :)
