Track photos - FCS - Castle Combe

Managed to get a last minute slot on track with CSOC at fcs, awesome track, car was spot on and I managed to set a lap time of 1:24-1:25 which I was pleased with for my first time at Combe.

i agree, it's where they belong! It's crying out for a spoiler now.

cup spoiler mate, mine is a 197 cup but didn't come wih a cup spoiler, I'm guessing the first person to buy it chose not to have it which sucks.

Ye definitely sucks buddy but it's well worth getting changes the look of the car for the better

It really does, I actually won a spoiler on eBay but I got messed about, the guy never sent it, gave me fake numbers and then just stopped replying after 2-3 weeks so I had to take an eBay claim up against him. I think I'll just buy the carbon cup replica spoiler at some point when I have some spare cash

One draw back I've found though is that dirt is more attracted to the back of the car and gets mucky so fast don't know if it does the same without the spoiler because I've always had mine on haha

Im not really that bothered about the extra dirt, I imagine the spoiler changes the air flow/pressure so that's why more dirt sticks to jt

 

[alexsmith94]

Ye my guess is that it causes a low air pressure point on the rear of the car so it just attracts any dirt right on there but ow well more of a reason to keep it clean I suppose

Looks very close to the arch when cornering! Any concerns?

it haven't had any issues with rubbing, the arch liners are removed and i'll be relocating the bumper brackets eventually to prevent it becoming an issue in the future. The car isn't very low tbh its just the load under cornering and a bit of steering lock.

here is a lap and no issues with rubbing

I had had a great time Pav, I only went for the Saturday but I think if I go next year I'll camp. Prior to fcs I looked at videos of Combe and didn't think much of it, it looked a bit boring but it was far from it, it's a really good track. Can't wait to do snetterton now, just been at there today as my mate had an evening booked for his birthday but I didn't take mine out because I'm booked for the evening on the 22nd.

They are the ones, I bought them second hand, they were good but they felt like they got hit quick, I didn't have a chance to adjust tyre pressures as it was only a 20 minute session. I can't compare them to anything as my first track day was in the wet on ad08-R. They did have plenty of grip though and you could feel them letting go, they weren't snappy or anything so I can't complain.
