Great Brits will battle to please spectators

You may not have made it to the British Grand Prix, but you can experience a taste of first class professional motor sport and all its paraphernalia at the Castle Combe Circuit's Dunlop Great and British Motorsport Festival, over the weekend of 17 & 18 July.

An extended walk around the paddock to experience today's high level of presentation is something not to be missed. The transporters, equipment and motor homes would not have been out of place in Formula 1 a few years ago, such is the level of competition in championships such as those for production based saloon cars, Radical sports racing cars and the Minis, which make up much of the 'Dunlop' package.
The television exposure which comes with it has no doubt encouraged teams and drivers to 'up their games' to please their sponsors.
The weekend gets under way on Saturday with qualifying from 08-45, racing from 12-15. Sunday starts with qualifying at 8-45 with racing from 10-30 till 12-35. After a break for lunch, the afternoon's racing re-starts at 14-05.
Admission prices on Saturday are £8 for adults, with OAPs £4 and children and Paddock transfer free. Sunday's charges are £15 for adults, OAPs £7-50 with children 'FOC'. Paddock transfer is only £2-50, or free on all advance bookings. An advance two day pass is available for £20, OAPs paying only £10.
