"Saturday 29 October 2016 Supercar Saturday

This adrenaline-fuelled day is dedicated to motor sport where car and motor sport fans are at the centre of the action with passenger rides on the circuit, driving tests in the paddock and a display of a variety of interesting cars.

On the day the general public is given the opportunity to experience the thrill of being driven around the circuit by knowledgeable drivers. With a choice of exceptional cars, ranging from the classic mini to exotic modern supercars, with racing and rally cars to excite every enthusiast.

We are fortunate to have regular support from about 70 drivers who bring their cars and give passengers a ride around the racing circuit.

Entry to Castle Combe is £5 per person, £2.50 for Senior Citizens, under 16's free.

Passenger rides from £20

From 9am on the day, you can buy a ride in one of our fantastic cars. Passenger rides start from just £20 and you get to experience 5 laps around the Castle Combe Race Circuit.

update for you from Combe

"Dear Car Clubs

As Supercar Saturday is fast approaching, just wanted to update you with some details for the day. When you arrive at Castle Combe race track, please come in the competitors entrance and show your car pass (please see attached). Please only give these car passes to members of your club.

Just past the entrance to the car park, there will be a purple and white Stroke gazebo. Jen will be located here and she will explain where your car club is to be based. The gates open to the public as of 9am so please make sure your members have arrived before then as much as possible.

Once your club members have all arrived, if you can find Jen – if it’s before 9.30am she will be at the gazebo, if it’s after then, she’ll be at the ticket sales desk next to the shop and give her the £5 per car (if you haven’t already paid us). This can be cash or cheque (made payable to ‘Stroke Association’)

If you have any issues on the day, Jen’s mobile number is 07983 585223. Unfortunately I am just about to go on maternity leave so will not get to see you at the event, but I know that Jen will look after you.

Let Jen know if you have any questions.

All the best

Amy"
