SPECIAL EVENT (CHIPPENHAM, WILTSHIRE UK.) - CASTLE COMBE CIRCUIT ANNOUNCES 2008 ACTION DAY DATES
![]() |
With prices generally held for 2008, Castle Combe Action Days still represent probably the cheapest way in the country of getting your car onto a licenced race circuit. For just £30 plus admission charges, anyone can participate in one of the track sessions, as long as their car meets the theme of the day and complies with the circuit's strict noise limits.
For clubs, Action Days represent fantastic value. Any accepted club, providing its display matches the theme of the day, will receive free admission passes and free display space for up to 12 cars. Further passes can be purchased at reduced rates. Accepted owners' clubs also get the benefit of substantially reduced track passes, valid until 11.00 on the day.
With "Car of the Show" and "Club Stand of the Show" awards at each Action Day, there is plenty of incentive for each club to provide an eye-catching display, while also providing a great meeting point for members.
SATURDAY 19 APRIL PERFORMANCE CAR ACTION DAY Featuring displays from performance car owners' clubs. With a major high street brand shortly to be announced as sponsor of the day, expect a great number of additional attractions for this event, which was a complete sell-out this year. Clubs are advised to apply early to avoid disappointment.
SATURDAY 14 JUNE RETRO & SPORTSCAR ACTION DAY Re-titled for 2008, this offers a chance for owners of classic and sports cars to enjoy the challenge of Castle Combe Circuit. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Austin Healey Sprite, the circuit will be inviting some legendary names associated with that car's history.
SATURDAY 6 SEPTEMBER EUROFEST ACTION DAY With plenty of regular track events for Japanese performance cars, here is an event which celebrates where it all began - with European manufacturers. As it says on the label, it's open for clubs and cars with European-manufactured cars, with display areas divided by country of origin and dedicated sessions for each country's products. (Note: by European-manufactured cars, the organisers refer to those marques which - in the public perception - are produced in Europe by European companies. With regret, therefore, neither Swindon-built Hondas nor Derbyshire-made Toyotas will be acceptable.)
SATURDAY 27 SEPTEMBER MINIWORLD ACTION DAY One of the best Mini events of the year usually attracts around 40 traders, over 80 different Mini clubs and a great variety of cars on the circuit - all Minis, of course. New for 2008 will be a free autojumble area for enthusiasts clearing out their garages (you just pay admission charges).
Club application forms for each event will shortly be available on the circuit website at: http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/actionday
