2010 Action Day Dates Announced
Castle Combe Circuit is pleased to announce its Action Day Dates for 2010 and after a record year in 2009 the same successful format will be repeated.
The Action Day season opens on Saturday 24th April with the Performance Car Action Day. This opening event has sold out for the last 3 years with well over 100 Clubs representing just about every type of performance car applying for stand space and track passes and enthusiasts taking advantage of some of the most cost effective track time to explore the performance limits of their cars.
Back for 2010 and with more cars will be a drifting display plus special sessions for high performance cars and new to track drivers.
Classic and sports car fans are invited on Saturday 12th June for their own dedicated event. Showing its diverse appeal, already 50 Morris Minors are promised and will be taking advantage of the Giant Classic Lunchtime Cruise. In the sports car area we will be celebrating the Japanese sports car with significant anniversaries from both the MR2 and MX5 Clubs. Whilst the central display will feature ‘Cars are the music stars’ and we are looking for enthusiasts with vehicles with car models which are featured in music. So if you have got a silver Thunderbird, a red Corvette, and what about a big yellow taxi then come and display it.
Saturday 4th September sees the return of the Ajec Racing Summer Performance Car Action Day. With support from Ajec Racing, one of the west country’s leading suppliers of tuning parts and responsible for the preparation and tuning of the Castle Combe Saloon Car Championship lap record holding car, Ajec will bring their own blend of displays and fun to what, in 2009 proved to be the most rapidly expanding day of the year. With promised display of exciting super cars, a drifting display, the Ajec Parade which featured cars worth literally millions of pounds there is much to look at as well as enjoy the track time.
Closing the Action Day season for 2010 will be Mini World supported Mini Action Day on Saturday 25th September with the 50th Anniversary of the Mini in 2009 new Mini events sprung up everywhere, that didn’t stop Mini World Action Day from being the biggest and best ever proving the popularity of this well established event. Back again will be the Mini Cruise with special displays and attractions planned.
Castle Combe Action Days have been established for almost 25 years and offer clubs, groups and organisations the chance to apply for free display space, free admission tickets and the chance to drive on Castle Combe Circuit at heavily reduced prices. For enthusiasts it’s a chance to experience driving on a circuit for a modest amount and at the same time enjoy the atmosphere the events create mixing with like minded enthusiasts as well as viewing the many displays, wandering the trades stands and picking up a bargain in the Autojumble area that operates on some days.
