Ferrari challenge castle combe
Just had a look at the entry list for the races at combe on bank hloiday monday,the classic ferrari race has 15 entry's wilst the so called main races[there's two] has a pityful 7.
Think its time to look at this i'm hoping the organisers will put both classes together cause i for one are not going to be happy seeing just seven cars have two 20 minute races, ten laps would be bad enough. I don't part with my hard earned cash to watch something like this its not entertainment a grid two thirds empty when it should be the other way around! |

Not good news: the seven have become six and the 15 have become 14. Given that we have 11 races, a late finish and hardly any lunch break perhaps these could be merged; the two Alfa races could also be joined together, as could the Fiestas and the Fiats.
Then we'd be back to just eight races, but full grids, a longer lunch and we could be all finished by 5pm! |

Surely better to stick to 11 races, finish late and P**s off those jerks that got Coombe in trouble by complaining. Ooops , not very PC of me !!!!!

Or would they be more annoyed by fewer races with more cars in them?

If they do just run six cars on there own it would just go to show that the BRSCC don't give a toss about joe public's entertainment,if that's all the championship can muster then it does not deserve championship status in the first place or two races. Would be good to have somebody from the BRSCC to reply to this post? |

The thing is, the Ferraris have not had more than about nine cars all of this season, and it was no better last. Yet it still keeps being advertised as one of the races of the day...

If it can't cut the mustard then either amalgamate it with the classic's or drop the championship completely. Ferrari may have plenty of clout in F1 but in ain't in british motorsport no championship deserves a place on any race meeting with only six cars! |

I worked out this morning that you could run this meeting with six qualifying sessions and seven races. So you could start at 9.30am, have an hour for lunch, extend all the (now very full) races to 20 minutes and still be finished by 5.30pm. I think it would be a much better event as a result!

I bloody well knew it the BRSCC ought to ashamed of themselves allowing 5 cars to have a 20minute race it was a total farce!
It makes my blood boil when us spectators have got to sit through such utter rubbish,not only is it bad for motorsport but also for the circuit. We left before the end after the quality fford race as i could bear to sit through another shortened this time [by 5 mins that's all]ferrari race. We never leave before the end of a meeting at castle combe they should have moved it to the last race of the day instead of putting us through this pityfull crap. |

Is there a decent BRSCC website? I haven't had a look at them for ages, last time I checked their site was fairly poor, but I'd say if there's an email or comments option then try having a word...
