I've had a shit few weeks with home life of late, so when  BHPtrackdays  posted on my news-feed saying 3 places left for Castle Combe for the following Monday.
 i checked my shift pattern which confirmed a day off so the choice was made! 

packed the car as normal on the sunday for early start on the monday

8 wheels
40 ltrs fuel
jack
chocks
spares
tools
tarp
helmet

monday morning
fill up with fuel full tank + 40ltrs V-power then off to Combe,
got to Combe at 745am by hell was it foggy! couldnt see from one end of the padoc to the other

   

went and signed on, then back to change car from road tyres onto R888's
drivers brief at 830am
then waited for sighting laps.....
waited.....
waited.....
the track was so fog bound it was to dangerous to open so we waited some more...
and waited....
and waited....
1130 the sighting laps started it was still foggy on the main straight but the back side was in full sun,
then 1200 they called an early dinner.

1300 they opened the track full open pit lane
was still patchy fog but you could see through it

   

the fog cleared and the rest of the day was on and off track as and when 

   
   
   

I had 1 spin all day my fault as i took to much speed entering Bobbies and ended up heading for the solar panels after a half spin
no damage just sticky tyres full of sand which took a few laps to clear off

2 issues with the car which have arisen

1st is an annoying idle problem when hot which i cured by unplugging the power steering pressure sensor no idea how that effects it but it did.

2nd issue i need a new exhaust! 
as i started the day just passing noise test at 96db
I needed earplugs for the drive home.
the db reading has been getting higher after each track-day so i suspect Ether i have no Cat left or the two silencers are empty of packing now
this will need sorting before the next track day as i belive i will not pass now

so all in all a good day just i little slow to start
