Castle Combe

Castle Combe is a beautiful little circuit in the picturesque village of the same name in Wiltshire.

Les knew it well as it was where he raced his Ariel Arrow back in the
50's, when he must have gained all his knowledge of two stroke tuning.
I personally only raced at Castle Combe once, running in the 158 Wildcat

I had an uneventful race as I was running the engine in, and I was under
strict instructions not to seize it up.
I do remember that it was a nice circuit to drive
