ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE WAR HORSE FILM LOCATION AND MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT!

We have joined forces with the beautiful Castle Inn hotel in the amazing little village of Castle Combe to offer their guests discounted 4x4 courses http://www.castle-inn.info/special-offers/4x4-experience.   There are lots of offers on their website including a War Horse weekend special at £340 + VAT for a couple sharing.   The offer for the 4x4 which is £103.50 per person as opposed to the normal £115 can be done any day of the week (we do need a minimum of 2 people to run a course) and it takes 3 hours if we have the full compliment of 3 drivers.  You don't need to supply the drivers as we put people together.

The 4x4 course is perfect for couples that want to learn the skill of off-road driving and is immense fun!  We have BORDA (British Off Road Driving Association) instructors who will show you the course and then you get lots of hands on driving fun to learn all about 4x4 skills including a watersplash, scary ascents and descents.   To book the offer you must be staying at the Castle Inn hotel and booked through them - if you were after a valentine's offer we have one on our karting which can be booked direct on 01249 783010, see http://www.drivetechltd.co.uk/component/content/article/46/91-valentine-special.html for more details or call us to discuss.

The Visit Britain website blog has the trailer for War Horse and also pictures of all the filming locations - you cannot go wrong with visiting the village of Castle Combe and less 5 minutes from us!  http://www.visitbritainsuperblog.com/2012/01/in-pictures-war-horse-locations/ 

Junior Kart Racing at it's Best 

Alexi Littler leads the Castle Combe Junior Kart Championship from Will Hertzell by just 4 points with only 1 round to go!  Although no one other than Alexi or Will can win the overall championship, the battle for 3rd place is hotly contested with a potential 9 drivers still in contention for 3rd place.  With prizes for the top six and a best novice award for drivers in their first Championship it is going to be a great afternoon of kart racing.    The best novice is up for grabs with Stephen Netting currently leading the way.  However, Ben Gilbert, Alexander Roberts and Charlie Summers still have a great chance.

For those that have not been signed off yet there are spaces in the morning sessions, a great time to get in some extra practice and get signed off ready to race in the new Junior Kart Championship starting 15th January 2012.  Telephone 01249 783010 and book your place today.

As it's Christmas there are sweets for everyone who signs on.
