I think you really need to get your facts right before spouting off. Castle Combe has spare capacity to run more speed events. I know this how? because one of the clubs I belong to is organising a second event there for the 2006 season. Colerne is a special case, that'll never be a trackday venue.

I think much of the speed world would be deeply shocked to hear your pretence that track days are OK as there are enough venues around for speed events
Really? or that just your opinion? mine...well so long as we can all get track time no matter how organised then I am a happy chap

(and we haven't even mentioned that for many years there has been no hill climb venue at all in the South East quarter of England).
Because there are lots of trackdays run on hill climbs? Who's fault is it that there aren't any in the SE now? pretty sure you can't blame the trackday companies for that one.
