I've never been before, is it worth going if you're not going to be racing on the track?

[Turbo Nick]

its a pretty good day out even just spectating. I'm probably not gonna make it this year though plus my cars for drag racing not circuit stuff.

Lots of typical Mini show things to see and do even if you are not going out on the track yourself and you can always watch others driving their Mini's on the race circuit.......there are plenty of good places to spectate from.

It's a brilliant day out, and luckily just up the road for me. Loads of traders etc. Dont miss it.

[brian1975]

I will be going excellent day out.

Hi guys, this will be my first year at Combe which is luckily quite near me! Can't wait.


I have a question some others may be wanting to ask...

I've never been on a track in my Mini before and would love to give it a try. My Mini is a 1275 SPI Sprite and is in great shape although doesn't have track parts such as a rollcage, bucket seat(s), lightweight (stripped interior etc) and not many engine upgrades currently..... should this concern me or should I not give a damn and just get on the track and have some fun!?


Many thanks

[Mini_Magic]

I'd say just get on the track, it's not a competitive race. Just be ready to be overtaken and to move out of the way a lot.

I'd be much more concerned about your insurance and potentially writing off your car if something does go wrong.

[Minify]

Thank you Mini_Magic, that pretty much answers my question although hearing from others would be great, too!

I'm only intending on having some fun and seeing what the fuss is all about . Couldn't dream of hurting Keith.

there was quite alot of standard cars going round last year... just one thing i would bear in mind, its all right handers really, watch that oil pressure gauge if you havent got a centre oil pick up pipe

had mega fun last year but my fast mini isnt gona be ready this year most likely be there in my bronze clubby though, not going round the track!
