Show: French Car Show 2015 - Castle Combe

[Niall]

Ive just had a good chat with Mark, the organiser of the show who has now confirmed our stand position. This year we are much more in the busy area as you can see by the poorly drawn screen shot below (Red is last years location, Yellow is this years)

[attachment=23184]

We are also on tarmac this year which is much nicer.
Now i have this location and a rough idea of size, we can begin to plan the stand layout so remember to get your prime position pics up as we will be deciding on the cars soon!

[Connor]

Will that be big enough? Oh and also, if anyone has space in their tent I could occupy, that would be amazing, im fully tent trained (see what I did there? ), funny and can fix any arguments you may have. Can get references

[Niall]

Yeah it will be enough. I think we will end up with 30-35 cars on stand. That line isn't the exact stand. Its difficult to draw out on a shitty image lol
Looking at what Mark has sent me, we have a fair bit more of the concrete area to the right

[Jimbo]

That does seem pretty small, there is like 7 cars at least just coming up in our group maybe more. From south west

[kentiiboii]

Seems a pretty decent spot this year! :-)
Should be a good year :-)

You really don't need to worry. Spaces are allocated by tickets bought and can still change. We have been allocated space for 55 cars and I reckon we will have no more than 35 so honestly don't need to worry.

[Piggy]

great spot fellas!
Have to keep the tarmac thing in mind with flags and posts etc as we cant drive them into the ground! haha

Does look small, but I trust you Niall

[Niall]

Like I say I haven't marked up all of our stand. It extends onto the concrete to the right further than I have marked

[Jimbo]

Ah ok o thought we only had space for 35, i agree though that the space is much better than previous two years.
Looking forward to this now

[7057sam]

Yes my ticket arrived a few days ago

Getting excited now

[Orta]

I've got a two man tent and don't mind going top to toe mate. Not sure if I'm down for Friday night and Saturday or just Saturday tho yet. Depends with work.

Also that spot looks good, am I right in thinking its opposite where the cars enter the track? 

[Eeyore]

Looks like we have a decent stand this year! Awesome.

Correct. The building to the bottom of our stand is where you sign on for track

[Eeyore]

Yessss no more getting blocked in for track times!

[kentiiboii]

Are we going to be considering places for people going on track this year.
Don't wanna get blocked in :-)

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah it will be enough. I think we will end up with 30-35 cars on stand. That line isn't the exact stand. Its difficult to draw out on a shitty image lol

That is an absolute prime spot Niall, well done for sorting us out. The area you have marked out looks like 7 cars wide by 3 cars deep but if it's going to be wider we could have a pretty extensive front row.

[Frosty]

Should be a decent spot, right in the mixer of it all

[Niall]

Guys don't take the mark out on the map as gospel. I've just scribbled that on there to give a rough idea of where we are and the shape of our stand. I do have a slightly more accurate drawing from Mark but it's not high res so wouldn't of been any good to show you guys where we actually are

[7057sam]

If anyone been to action day or last year fcs it's where the drift team set up.Pretty awesome spot really close to all the briefing and no more getting stuck in track traffic jams

Almost want to buy some more track time now

[td163]

Looking good! Out the way of those pesky C2 owners lol.

[Pebbles167]

Holy shiz! That's one of the best spots.

Awesome stuff

Just thought id put this on here as Ginge asked last night where camping is and i thought a few more may be curious if they have never been to FCS before
Orange is our stand, Purple is the camping area and green is the route you will take into the camping area. Thankfully we don't have to cue in the morning to get back out onto the road to re enter at the show entrance however i will be asking that if anyone is arriving on the Friday night, if you don't need things from your car, we will park them up on stand so we can just walk around on the Saturday morning in a drunken manner. Don't forget, once you're in camping you can't really move your car and you can't sleep in it so its not really any use in the very limited camping parking

[Nick306td]

What time on Friday are people going to be turning up we are planning to be there around 3/4 want to beat the traffic [emoji4]

[Pebbles167]

They won't let in until at least 5pm I'd imagine.

[Niall]

6pm the gates open for camping officially although last year we got there earlier than that and there was plenty already there.
Ill be there from about 2pm so if anyone does get there early, let me know

[Pebbles167]

You reckon it's worth me heading over late? How strict were they on the 10pm gate close last time?

[Niall]

Not sure mate as i had no reason to be paying attention.




Plus i was way too drunk

[bashbarnard]

They say on the pack its frowned upon to come any later but they cant turn you away. Ive got a four hour drive and ill be leaving at six. Its gonna be close.

[Pebbles167]

Ok, I'll try arrive late and camp, if i get turned away then never mind. Cheers guys.
