Castle Combe is the first track I ever drove on. About 34 years ago I used to attend an under 16 drivers club! My mum's grey B reg Escort XR3i used to get as much as a 14 year old would push a car under a father's instruction. Good memories. Don't remember 2 chicanes if I'm honest. Looks like you had a blast. Looking at Bedford Aerodrome and Brands Hatch over the next year, then Nordschliefe next year. Would love Spa too, at some point, just a very high speed flowing bend track that needs a bit more than a few laps of the M25 to get used to those speeds and corners..😱 love the Mulgari Icon3..... beautiful looking car. Nice vid thanks for the upload 😊
Thank you for the comment buddy! Means a lot. Get yourself to the ring, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I can imagine how different Combe was back then!
Your correct, chicanes were added in the early 90s to slow it down. I tracked my 944 turbo on the original layout, could get some great drive without having to slow for them. Did the mark cole driving course there in about 88/89 in 205 gti. Learnt a lot.
Oh shit dude not what I wanted to hear, I was about to bite the bullet on the EBC brake conversation after destroying a brand new set of original discs at Bedford, it didn’t look an especially hot day and yes Castle is really hard on brakes but ‘grumbling’ and ‘really hot’ not what I wanted to hear 🤷🏻♂️… M2 brakes really the cars Achilles heal ..but nicely driven, quick… ( are you sure the cars standard I reckon it revs out better than mine …🤔
Hey man! Tbf they held up really well I think I just pushed the car too hard. They seem ok now and I think they’re good for another track day. It’s just castle is a very fast track and when braking north of 120 most bends it takes its toll. And yes bro stock as far as I’m aware haha
Can anyone guess what time I managed? A completely stock M2 Competition
1:22
@@relentlesspursuit6894 ohhh a little bit faster than that
@@realtorque 1:17, good time. Perfect circuit for the M2, seriously quick place and a really good surface to get all that power down 👌
@@relentlesspursuit6894 thanks dude! Appreciate it!

Really appreciate it Thank You!
Taken my M2 round Castle Combe a few times, keeping the foot down round that little right harder after the pit straight 😅
Looked like you had a great day! Epic video bud :)
Thanks buddy! Hopefully see you at the next one
Great video as always mate. Looks brilliant. Would love to have a blast round combe soon!
Thank you buddy! Really appreciate it!

🏆🏆
Thank you buddy!
F1 seat next I reckon, just brilliant Christian, good to see the real champ back in the the house
Haha thanks John! Awesome to be back on track! Getting very addictive now!
Watched a few of yr uploads as in the market for an m2 comp, but this video title is pure click bait.
It is haha. I’ll admit it
Sir. Your channel is so great! We are looking for an opportunity to work with you.
Do you have interest in trying our seat covers?🥰
They are weapons aren't they really takes down stuff more than double its price
Honestly can’t tell you how they are. Few mods and they’d be a beast
