Hi all Audi driver international show is as always at Castle Combe circuit, nr Chippenham, Wilts. further details see below.

http://www.audidriverinternational.co.uk


This year they have moved the date of the show into sunny and warm September---saturday 16th september.



The show is the Saturday - Friday night we book a table in the beefeater next to the hotel for those that have decided to stay over before the show or are local and want to join us---please add your name here---FRIDAY NIGHT MEAL----- http://www.a2oc.net/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=111&day=2017-9-15
also post on here how many places please.


The show follows the very simple typical car show format. With the different car clubs having pitches. These pitches are located close to the track at castle Combe in the paddock area. There are a few trade stands there to tempt the pound out your pockets. BUT THE BIG DRAW IS being Able to view the action on the track.

Audi uk usually have one or two of their test pilots offering white knuckle rides around the circuit in the high performance versions of the cars. Some of the fastest modified audis also go out and are a sight to be seen and heard.


Track time is offered at £TBC per session - you need to have a helmet. If any members are interested pm me and I'll see if we can get a group session (12 a2's needed)

In the afternoon they usually offer a kids session where you can take the kids (yours or borrowed) around the circuit. At the end if the day there is usually a parade lap (in fact usually 3) where all the clubs form a line and drive the track -at a steady pace. No helmet required.
Hope this helps to entice you to come. Cheers mike

Name added Mike. A much better time of year to be at Castle Combe - sensible to re-date this. With a bit of sun and warmth, the circuit isn't a bad place to spend a shift.

Robin, do you have space to take Di and the kids into the venue this year.... ;):p

Cheers,

Darren
 
Name added to Show & Saturday meal. Both Lee & I will be attending. Will probably travel down on Friday night after eating as it will give the traffic time to calm down. It's a nightmare southbound on the M1 from our Junction (J25) since they started working on the not-so-smart motorway.
 
I'm in for Friday. I'm working Saturday, but live about 8 miles from Castle Combe so would love to meet up!

What time is the meal?

Hi sorry for the delay in answering -i could have sworn i had posted how odd. The meal will be 7.30-8.00 time just waiting to finalise numbers. please add your name to the calendar if your coming and let me know how many you are. Cheers mike

Thanks Mike,
I'm afraid I can't make it now as a work related thing has come up the same night. Thanks for getting back to me though!
Cheers, Jules

Hi all its not far away now -Audi driver international at castle Combe. The hotel we are staying in is getting booked up fast and I have been told most of the compare prices sites show "no rooms" but If you contact the hotel directly web or phone you should be ok. But don't put it off much longer.
We are very close to having no spaces left for the after show meal on the Saturday night. So again if your coming please post and add your name soon as I may be able to up the head count.
Cheers Mike and Yvonne

Are you back from the Welsh social and thinking I want to do another social ? or thinking I want to be part of this social scene ? Then why not join us at castle Combe for Audi driver international show ? Still time to add your names to the show full details on the first post. Looking forward to this as it's the last show of the year - possibly not but waiting for confirmation. Cheers Mike and Yvonne

HI All
Sounds like it's going to be a really good event and looks like an excellent turnout from A2oc. Sadly i won't be able to attend this event as it's the same day(Argghhhh) my daughter needs to be enrolled into Plymouth University. So if you see me driving south on the M5 Saturday morning please give a sympathetic wave.
Have a great day all
Steve
