The Castle Combe circuit’s 2015 season draws to an end on Saturday October 10 and as is often the case, its ‘home’ championship titles are all to be decided, most of them between local protagonists. Two men will battle it out for the Castle Combe Formula Ford 1600 championship title. Langford’s Roger Orgee has held a season long points advantage over Chippenham’s Adam Higgins and goes in to this last race with a 19 point lead, ready to take his first ‘Combe’ title. Having won two races to the one of Higgins, Orgee appears to have everything in his favour, his Ridgmill Van Diemen performing superbly in the hands of the ‘Kevin Mills Racing’ team. But the biggest motor sport cliché, “anything can happen” is also the truest. A non-finish by Orgee would require Higgins to finish second or higher to take the title, though that is not a task which would daunt him in any way, especially with the added motivation of taking 3 consecutive crowns, emulating his father, Bob. Orgee also has family footsteps in which to follow, his namesake father winning the title in 1974.But to make life so much more difficult for the Chippenham lorry driver, Orgee only needs to finish 16th if Higgins wins outright. There is also the not inconsequential issue of other drivers with plenty of skill and huge ambition. Orgee’s team mate, Michael Moyers from Wellingborough, is certainly one of those and has 3 wins notched up this year to prove it. Whilst he is out of title contention, due to non-finishes, he can still overtake Yatton Keynell’s Luke Cooper for 3rd and could even grab second from Higgins if everything went his way.Cooper, already crowned class B champion with his family built and run Swift, will pray for the rain which would give him the ability to outfox his A class opponents. Nevertheless, finishing behind the much lauded Moyers in a straight fight will be no disgrace, given the youngster’s giant killing performances this year.Similarly able to hold his head high, regardless of what happens on Saturday, is Bridgwater’s Josh Fisher. He also owned his class this year, motivation coming from chasing the supposedly faster A class cars in his venerable 1989 Reynard.Meanwhile, Melksham’s Ed Moore is another driver, like Moyers, who could influence the results significantly. Whilst he will not want to interfere with the outright championship title battle, he will be as keen as ever to take a win, which could potentially give him 3rd in the championship if those ahead failed to score.All those drivers and many more, will also take part in the annual 'Carnival' race, a long standing fun race for Formula Ford drivers.The circuit’s ‘Saloon Car Championship’ title will also be decided between two drivers. But unlike the inter team rivalry in the FF1600 championship, these two drivers are from the same stable. Bristol’s Mark Wyatt and Russell Poynter-Brown from Compton Martin are separated by 8 points, so like Orgee, Wyatt just needs to stay out of trouble to take his first outright title. Both men’s Vauxhalls are prepared to a very high standard by the Interceptor Racing team, so reliability should not be an issue. As is often the case, it’s the drivers’ respective class battles which will probably determine the final outcome.Wyatt’s Astra, freshly rebuilt for 2015, is more than a match for the Peugeot 206 Gti of Bridgwater’s Tony Dolley, his closest rival. Again, rain could cause the biggest upset, but even a lowly 7th in class would give him the trophy, even if Poynter-Brown won and claimed fastest lap. Melksham’s Simon Norrris could steal a big chunk of class B points though with his new and somewhat unusual Colt Ralliart.Class A and outright too, Calne’s Tony Hutchings and Southampton’s Gary Prebble are the main men. Their battle has been fascinating this year, the lead ebbing and flowing between them. In theory, Prebble’s slightly faster SEAT Leon Turbo should finish just ahead of the Audi TT of Hutchings, but as we have seen on five occasions this year, that’s not a given.Third in class A is a battle between the Renault Megane of Charles Hyde-Andrews-Bird from Ditcheat and the VW Scirocco of Bath’s Dave Scaramanga.Class C has seen a late charge into the title lead from Seend’s Adrian Slade, deposing rain maestro James Keepin from Bristol in his MG ZR.Bristol’s Oliver Bull has some interesting opposition in his quest for the circuit’s ‘Sports and GT Championship’ title. After some early season tribulations with his Ford powered Vauxhall Tigra Silhouette, Bull now has a 3 point advantage over Cricklade’s Nick Holden in the zany Aeriel Atom. Once again, it’s class points which count towards the overall title, Bull having the added pressure of Keith Butcher’s ex BTCC Nissan Primera to contend with this time out.Bull has a number of varied opponents, including the unlikely but rapid Rover Tomcat of Southampton’s Adam Prebble and Brighton’s Ilsa Cox in her SEAT Leon Cupra.In class A for unlimited capacity ‘specials’, Tetbury’s David Krayem has his Ginetta G50 and Bath’s Angus Gorringe a TVR Sagaris.The circuit’s series for ‘sports racing’ cars also comes to a close with a 20 minute race for what should be the fastest machines of the day. Bristol’s Neil Harris has the Nemesis Prototype but likely to dominate the rest is Tim Gray in the Spire, with which he lapped the rest of the field at the last two races.Adding a contrast is the ‘Production BMW’ championship catering for the early ‘E30’ 3 series first produced in the early 1980’s. Few modifications are allowed, which keeps the racing close and good value, with two championship deciding races of 15 minutes each.Many of those drivers and a selection from most of the other races, will also have a fun time in the season closing ‘Sports v Saloons’ race.Saturday's action starts at 8.30 am with qualifying, racing getting under way from 12.45pm and carrying on until just after 6:00pm.Admission prices are £15 for Adults and £10 for OAPs, whilst accompanied children under 16 are admitted free.
