ooo-arr27 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Combe GT's

Hi all,
this is my first post so be kind!!

Combe GT's again had a poor grid for Sunday's race, Would it really be a good idea to keep it for next season???

Atleast Mr Sinclair in his mighty Jade tried his best to make it interesting - lapping everyone up to second place, and in only 12 laps!

Perhaps the other competitors have been put off by the fact the no close racing will happen when they turn up at castle combe.

I'm not sure why anyone would find a race car just lapping the entire field interesting ?

Also if they reduced the entry fees perhaps we might see some more entries as i'm sure running a GT car is not cheap

Nope not complaining about entry fees, cheaper is always better but looking at the other places I have raced....well combe is a Bargin.

I think commitment is a good word here, the guy is right on the edge with the Jade. The Nissan engine version has about 100bhp more than his normal Chrysler engined version.
To step into that car and do the times he was doing was great to watch.

The circuit however, is attempting to generate more entries, see http://www.racecarnewmedia.com/castl...p?ArticleID=39

Perhaps a rethink on the class structure would bring in some more cars?

I remember a couple of times a VW Golf tried to enter as it had been modified to GT class....but I was told they kicked it out. Doesn't really encourage people trying to enter the championship without a radical or jade etc.

It would be nice to see more saloon based cars too, such as the old thunder saloons - the rover SD1's were always popular (whether many still exist is a different matter - it would be interesting to know!).
What about reverse grids - good or bad idea? it would surely increase the spectacle but how much would safety be compromised??

I would of thought that if a VW Golf can run in the British GT's, it ought to be acceptable for Combe GT's.

G Tanner - I am not %100 certain of what was going on, but there was a whole thread on 10/10ths asking "was it a GT"

I believe a rethink of classes will occur over the winter.. no details available yet though.
