Castle Combe

Managed not to crash this year. I have some in-car footage to edit together but here's a short video of my car a full chat

Got it RR tuned the day before. The guy (Pete Lander of Sigma Engineering) did a great job and liberated 30BHP at the top end by going down a choke size - what a star. The engine absolutely zings now - utterly superb - as I think you can hear from the video...

Sounds like only an Alfa can Bring it to one of our trackdays please

Both great videos Richard, Love the little arse wiggle at the esses
Your alfa makes a really lovely noise too.

This year's in-car video.

I've just watched this years video at castle comb and you can definitely see and hear that extra BHP.

Yeah the wiggle at the esses is good.

Castle Combe is a great track. Watch out for the newly cut grass on the first corner as back in the day, this is where I overtook a young lady on the inside then she pushed me into the grass then of course I spun and all the grass ended up in the cockpit of the Formula Ford.

I hope not to do the same with my Coupe! One day will take it to the tracks, one day...

That noise

Whats the lowdown on your car specs dude, it sounds amazing.
