Having braved the freezing heights of the Nurburgring our brave contenders travel to the lower but equally chilly regions of Wiltshire to fight it out for round 4.
So the circus now finds itself terrorising the peacefull quiet of Castle Combe - a circuit that was renowned as the fastest circuit in the UK before it's introduction of the chicanes.
However there are some tricky corners here (Most of them actually) which may yet equal the field enough to give some tight racing regardless of HP.
Currently Hristo is claiming a tenuous hold on the number one spot of the championship, very closely followed by myself.
Goran, KingHiro and EvilClive are forming an equally tight group squabbling over 3rd.
As there is a long way to go still the championship is realisticly anyones as we progress onto faster circuits..
Although it is traditional at Combe to have a lap 1 pileup at Quarry may I respectfully ask contenders to resist the urge - Unlike the foreign circuits we've visited so far Steve and I have to tidyup after us here
Hristo has correctly guessed the theme for the passwords now so no need to continue those shinanigans (Even if he did use Google and cheat
) any further

Reserve drivers should not join the server(s) until there are only 30 minutes of qualifying left. Please restrict chat to pit messages. Moderating will be by reported incidents only, however the moderators reserve the right to review any incident with a particular emphasis on lap one. The aim is to review the race the following weekend so incident reports should be submitted within five days of the race (ie the following Friday). We're hopeful most incidents can be resolved amicably and recommend a days deep breath with a replay review before posting. A sorry in the forum won't be taken as an automatic admission of guilt by the moderators.
The race will be run on PRO Damage.
NOTE: Please ensure you join the correct server, due to the way we import if you start the race on the wrong server your result will not count.
Chassis assignments can be found
HERE**NOTE**
Whichever chassis a driver begins race 1 with is the chassis he must use for the remainder of the season unless a change has been agreed with the moderator.
About the TrackThe Castle Combe airfield opened in May 1941. The land which the airfield occupied belonged to the Castle Combe estate, which was owned by the Gorst family. The airfield functioned for seven years before being decommissioned in 1948.
Castle Combe Circuit opened just 18 months after Silverstone in the summer of 1950, making it one of the longest established circuits in the UK. Over the next few years, the circuit attracted star names such as Stirling Moss, Mike Hawthorn, Roy Salvadori and John Surtees. Until 1999, the circuit followed it's original layout, around the perimeter of the old air base. Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, and David Coulthard all won races in the 70's and 80's, and by the 90's, the circuit hosted rounds of most of the national championships.
In 2005, the circuit was issued with a noise nuisance order, which meant that the circuit had to reduce its noise level. The British Formula Three Championship, British GT Championship and British Touring Car Championship were louder than permitted, and so were prevented from returning. Local championships dedicated to Saloon Cars, GTs and Formula Ford are still active
