Castle Combe is one of the faster circuits and whilst its an old airbase its not completely flat and featureless.
From the start/finish straight Folley is a gentle right hander taken flat (105) though the apex on the right but don’t run past the middle of the track on the exit due to uneven surface on the left.
Up the gentle Avon Rise (VMAX 115) turn in left and then brake hard whilst heading for the apex. Off the brakes when you reach the brow of the rise whilst the car lifts (or you will lock up) then hard back on thebrakes and head down the centre of the track (aim for the lights) to Quarrey which is a late turn in right (60) and regarded as one of the most challenging corners in the UK.
Accelerate along Farm straight (90) then brake into the right/left Esses (60). Exiting the Esses head for the middle of the track and early right turn in to Old Paddock (80) taken flat as is Hammerdown left hand (100) then run the slight downhill into Tower (60) which is an early turn in right and hug the inside kerb due to bumps on the outside whilst waiting for the real late apex.
Accelerate (75) then into Bobbies right/left (60) and flat out to Camp right hander which has a false early apex so the turn-in point (70) is slightly later than expected, but early on the power for the straight.
