Castle Combe Summer Action Day - Crash and Action - July 2021

The crashes, spins and best bits from a very slippery Summer Action Day at Castle Combe Race Circuit. Many drivers had said that the track was particularly greasy, most likely due to being a bit damp after such a long period of dry, warm weather. The drivers of those that crashed mostly seemed to be in good spirit and were all ultimately unharmed!

The recovery truck drivers level of care is only equalled by the clio drivers level of talent.

I lost it when he ripped something off the front of it 🤣🤣

Yeah, I had camera ready in hand in case them forks went through side windows!!! Ouch!!! 🤣

Does the Maccy Ds Drive-Thru exit end up on this track!?

[@joelg34]

I'll have a McClio with extra chav please.

[@OliCM3]

Entered my car in the Action day a few years back, stuck out 2 laps before putting the car back on the trailer... Kids, chavs and idiots alike with no track experience or suitably prepped cars equalled 15 crashes in one day. I didn't fancy getting wiped out by a 1600kg hatchback with road pads, budget tires and vaporised brake fluid.

[@R03333]

Yeah sometimes makes me glad track days are a tad expensive VS 15 minutes of the action day

@@Tombrosapien What are they starting? Having concerns over my car being in jeopardy of others recklessness and egos isn’t elitist, I’m not criticising anyone’s ability, wealth or position. My problem was with the carelessness of their driving and total ignorance of the briefing.

[@sataneatcheese6243]

@@OliCM3 I have to agree with you there. I've done a good number of action days and the type of driving these events attract is disgusting. These people forget that it is not a race and the cars that go out I wouldn't do a 5 minute drive to the shops in.

Hi, thanks for sharing your video! Really appreciated 🙏 Really good day, shame about the rain. Nice to see vids 👍of the drifters! Love watching them! I was just taking loads of photos! So thanks again for sharing your vid! Cheers Paul the mad photographer 📸

Suzuki driver at 3:15 knows how to handle a front wheel driver car.. Others are obviously learning.

[@markbryant5635]

Crikey I saw the Corsa and Clio Crashes (felt for the girl tho) didn't realise there was so many cars damaged...more action than some racedays, great camera work as usual dude👍

[@CarsOfInterest]

Certainly were a fair few, think the slippery track helped with that mind.

[@TheLilhawki]

I was the black mx5 4:43 and pushed that golf a bit hard after he over took me. Also did you by any chance catch me sliding round the same corner.

[@CarsOfInterest]

I have a few videos but I didn't film you very well.

When these action days first started there one Saturday can't remember the date however 15 cars went off at Quarry during the day alone and it was wet but for some reason nobody seemed to care it was nutts🤣

[@CarsOfInterest]

Yeah was most likely me, was sat there all day as I normally do!

[@BeirutTaxi]

Avon rise and Quarry, surely one of the most difficult motorsport complexes in the world?

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Only for a chosen few, ie, those that find driving difficult

[@R03333]

Unfortunately it's more the combination of a low entry price for going on track on an action day, unfavourable conditions, excited drivers & the fact it comes off a decent length straight right before it.

[@S9TVB]

Is it only me that feels sorry for the girl in the Cleo after she crashes and realises she's totally fucked her car without track day insurance? 🤣

[@Piranhamatt]

Did the track day on the Friday before this but some of those passes eg the clio one near the start make me worry I'd get hit if I ever did one of these

[@spicekid2582]

Oh look a car in the wall, I'll just drift round the same corner while he's still sat there.

That looks like the worst track day ever !!! Doesn’t anyone take out the driver tuition on these days anymore if it’s available that is?? Best thing I ever done in my Clío cup at Silverstone was have a professional driver show me what to do and it made it loads better!! Don’t think I would of dared to go on with most of them!! 🥺

[@Dan23_7]

I went years ago and stood in that same position watching. There was a lad hammering an e30 325 round that right hander. Eventually his back left wheel came off 😱

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Too long on the clio crash

[@martinpettett4306]

Most of the sorted, rwd cars: "I'll brake early and go round here at 40ish". Crappy fwd Renault: "Nope, I can do this at 60mph, easy-peas.... Oh, oh, oops, oh no".

The only joy I get from watching drift cars is seeing them crash, so, thanks!

Haven’t been to Combe Action day in over 10 years, but I can see from this that it still hasn’t changed, it really is just a collection of the most useless drivers collaborating together to drive such a terrible track, makes me cringe, literally when I think of Combe, I think of people like the guy in the MK4 golf getting out and cheering himself for crashing, why…why are you happy you crashed 😂

Castlecombe is the most technically challenging track in the UK, there are some great race meets there

[@L.r.e_motorsport]

@@simonturner10 I don’t know if you are being serious or joking……

[@simonturner10]

Im serious, its well known for being the most technical in the racing community, its a great track and drivers love it, its always looked forward to when it comes up on the calender. Sadly alot of, I hesitate to use the words boy racers just dont know how hard that track can be and think they can go out for the first time with foot to the floor and get round, its tight corners and chicanes are not to be taken lightly, quarry corner is a 90 degree second gear corner at the end of a long straight and you have to get your speed down fast, this is what catches people out, and its very unforgiving. Add to this that over the years the drifters have taken to the circuit this just eggs other drivers on and more accidents as a result. As they always tell you in the drivers breifing its a track day, its about learning your limits and that of your car and is NOT a race day. no overtaking in the corners is allowed on a track day and there are marker cones to tell you when you are in those zones
