JDM Combe: Saturday 30 May 2026

Great day, thanks to all involved, all a bit of a rush getting signed on, safety briefing and noise test etc, so not much time for chatting.

Thanks to Malcom for the one to one mentoring, I think I got a 7-8/10 from him, happy with that but plenty more to improve on, Oh definitely got the bug

Also sorry for shooting off so early after the public track session but there was an important footy final to get back for and we made it, disappointing result though!

See you all at the next one

Sorry for the late "thank you", to those who organised and helped to make JDM Castle Combe, possibly the most attended RX8OC event in 2026.
Good to see and hear a good number of RX8s take to the track. I was also buoyed by the increasing interest from younger RX8 enthusiasts. Who, despite a wallet draining car to own and maintain, are latching on to the pure joy of preserving and driving a car like no other..... the RX8! =D>

A bit late but here is a mix of pics of both club and public track sessions in the 40th which did not miss a beat, even in that heat!, onboard is both Rachel (club) and Malcom (public) whom I thank once again for the valued advice and tips given - Great day!
