I did my first track day in the summer at Castle comb and loved it, i think the track really suits 400s so planning to do make it a regular think next year... Does anybody else on here do track days at Castle Comb??

Aren't they really strict on noise limits?
and also fairly expensive and uncommon?
Just saying what I've heard!! It may be a load of nonsense!

Is just down the road from me - Yes, the locals do make a habit of complaining about the noise... (WHY IN THE NAME OF FK DID YOU BUY A HOUSE NEXT TO A RACETRACK THEN, YOU BUFFOON???) - so best dig the baffles out... the noise-testing is done all session in a certain part of the track, if you have the necessary restraint & will power not to give it Full Gas in this part then hey - you may get away with taking your baffle back out - but Testosterone usually dictates you will go BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! and get Blackflagged....
Expensive?? Gunning your 400 with others at full tit with no speed limits or Plod to worry about isnt "Expensive"...
Its Priceless.

I'm in the RAF and we run Trackdays on the airfield (see my thread about it) - its only 65 miles from Trowbridge, and the days are cheap - £60 i think (and there is a 105Db limit) but I'm the one who does the testing so I'm sure any 400cc or 400gb members will pass!!

good point well made about the spelling.
I don’t think they’re that uncommon.... every 2 weeks for bike trackdays during the summer months and available from castle combe website - £125 so not £lots for what you get!
I want to make a habit of it next summer so any other 400s there would be cool!?
And what RAF base? RAF Keevil? sounds good.
