We have enjoyed many Caterham and Lotus 7 Club exclusive trackdays at this astonishingly quick circuit in its beautiful Wiltshire location over recent years. The good news is we will be returning for another mid-season action-filled Club-exclusive trackday in 2026. This event is suitable for drivers at all levels, and we will be running three sessions per hour of just 12 cars per session, in the morning and intend to move to Open Pit Lane after lunch. Consequently, there are only 36 spaces available for this event.
The circuit has in the past hosted rounds of the British GT and Formula Three Championship but sadly in recent times noise restrictions have limited the racing schedule. Viewing at the circuit is fantastic, with access to virtually all of the circuit and most importantly, the circuit restaurant offers good, traditional food. There are no garages on site, but the paddock does have a large amount of hard standing. The famous track is wide and open, and, at more than two miles long, provides plenty of space. And don’t forget – Combe is the home of the legendary Quarry Corner!
We provide free instruction which is available to all drivers (bookable in advance once the final instructions are issued or on the day).
Our “buddy system” will be in operation where less experienced drivers can request to be paired with more experienced members who will offer advice and support. Instructions on how to request a Buddy will be included in the final instructions for the day.
The cost of taking part is £240 for a car and main driver, an additional driver is priced at £40 and passengers are welcome subject to a nominal charge of £5.
The day is subject to a 100dB(A) noise limit measured statically prior to starting track activities.
Cars will not be permitted onto the circuit unless fitted with an MSA-acceptable rollbar or roll cage. In practice, this normally means the use of the ‘trackday’ or ‘FIA’ rollbars as supplied by Caterham Cars. Please see our Trackday Safety Requirements and Recommendations document which includes Club guidance on rollbars and safety requirements.
