Castle Combe Racing Club
Combe splits from BRSCC.. is this covered elsewhere on 10-10ths?
Quite a big happening, and it will mean that a variety of race club events could take place at the circuit next year. |

Sounds like it's more relevant to this forum.
So now CC has its own 'club', as does Brands. Is this a trend? Will more circuits organise their own meetings, rather than relying on the big national clubs? Interesting. |

I've read a few things about BRSCC imcompetence, particularly with the recent Ferrari challenge fiasco - so it doesn't come as a surprise.

Sounds like a very positive move. Local control, less officialdom, fewer overheads, more cars, more spectators etc etc . And, perhaps, 750 MC could bring their package as well as Dunlop?
The best circuit just got better........... |

At Brands however, the BHRC is currently just an entity, with nothing as yet happening there - and if it does start the run its own meetings other clubs (including BRSCC) should still be running meetings there. I'm also going to throw into the mix to East Anglian Motor Club that was going to run meetings at Snetterton. That was formed with a few members of the BRSCC-EA centre and again was looking like a 'split' (although again in addition to other clubs racing at the circuit), although that obviously never got off the ground for reasons that still remain a mystery to me at least. So, yes, there is a trend of circuits wanting to organise their own meetings - but the creation of the CCRC is the big one as it's a true split, but such a thing probably couldn't happen at any other circuit in the country. |

Forgive me if I've got the wrong end of the stick here.
Are we saying that the CCRC is effectively the BRSCC-SW re-branded, with the same people in charge? If so surely any complaints about BRSCC incompetence are still just as valid. I assume the local FF and Saloon/Sports series will now be organised by the CCRC but what about everything else? If the championships are administered by the BRSCC but the race meetings organised by the CCRC doesn't that add another level of bureaucracy? |

You are Forgiven!!
The new CCRC is nothing to do with the BRSCC, all Events will be organised by the Circuit from now on, and it can only be for the best, No more being lumped with 5 car grids (thanks BRSCC!) The Futures bright, the Futures Combe! |

Quote from Howard Strawford
"The circuit and the local centre has become increasingly disillusioned by the attitude of the BRSCC." Are not Howard and Steve Burns both members of the main Board of the BRSCC If so, have thet not had chance to change things ? |

Why couldn't they have non-BRSCC meetings before?

Them and Us!!
A bit like BRSCC Clubbie c/ships not going to Thruxton!! I suppose it could mean the C.Combe championships going to other circuits - like Thruxton!! I wish Howard, Adrian, and others there at the top, the best of success, and I hope to be there next year at some stage to test the noise meter for them. Looking wider, could this be the beginning of the demise of the BRSCC? (Discuss in new thread?) Or am I being a doom-monger. |

As a new comer to circuit racing next year and planning to do the CC GT's this is all great news! I've had a lot of dealings with the guys/gals at Combe over the years and they have always been brilliant.....excellent!
