June features some fantastic events at the Circuit including the new-look Classic, Kit & Retro Action Day & of course the epic Motorcycle Grand National. As well as this there's also track days, racing school activities, a giant car boot sale & lots more to keep you occupied!
Last month's BRSCC Whitsun Race Meeting turned into something of a Mazda Fiesta with two extra races added to accommodate their huge entry list! Spectators were of course also treated to some fantastic battles in our own championships; in all it was a great day that showcased the very best of British club racing.

Advanced Sales Close Friday 12th June Castle Combe Grand National Motorcycle MeetingSupported by Fowlers, Mr Blast and Goodridge over the weekend of the 27th and 28th June is most definitely the highlight our 2 wheel season.
Back to a 2-day format last year and attracting the best race meeting crowd for several years we are repeating the same format but adding more value for riders and spectators alike by holding the prices and with the great organisational skills of the NG Road Racing Club squeezing even more in.Back again, is virtually every solo class from 125s to unlimited. Back are rounds of the 250cc GP ACU National Championship and British Historic Championship. Back again is the coveted King of Castle Combe title race. And, back again, after several years’ absence and by popular demand is the British F2 Sidecar Championship. Add, in the very popular Classic and Special Bike Parades then you have a fabulous meeting anyway…. but there’s more. Local top team, Smiths of Gloucester, who are running Guy Martin in the Supersport TT, will demonstrate the bike, plus their BSB top 10 finishing BMW. Riders are still to be announced, so keep an eye on the website for latest details.
And, there is even more as we will be celebrating 50 years since the running of the longest ever race in Castle Combe’s history, the Grand Prix D’Endurance from 1965 with riders and bikes from that period making an appearance and some taking to the circuit. The Smiths bike display and Grand Prix D’Endurance Parade take place on the Sunday.Admission for the whole weekend is £20, Saturday £10 and a Sunday ticket £15.Practice starts at 08:35, qualifying races get underway at approximately 10:30 each day with the Championship races starting at 12:30.
