Think the noise is wheel bearing or tyre related will find out this weekend
Came 1st in class and 3rd over all, think there was about 30 cars in the race. Can see thee speed difference when lapping the slower cars

Re: Race sports vs saloons castle Combe
Enjoyed that, great drive.
Your Coupe pulls so well out of those corners and bounces around like a go kart, like you say when passing the backmarkers gives a sense of how fast you are.
Congrats on the result.
(that wheel bearing noise would make me nervous, did you trace it yet?)

Re: Race sports vs saloons castle Combe
Nicely done a good bit of racing 
Re: Race sports vs saloons castle Combe
It's coming from the rear and are we pretty sure it's tyres, we brought used one from touring car guys so maybe a dodgy tyre as we have used the same wheels and same size tyres with no problem, all we have changed is the rubber

Re: Race sports vs saloons castle Combe
If its a wheel bearing that loud, you can raise the car on a ramp and spin the rears wheels by hand and you will hear it, the fronts you can drive with it in the air and should be dead easy to find, if its tyres there will obviously be no noise on a ramp, that loud should be easy to diagnose.
For tyres to make that noise it should show up on inspection to, feathering or out of shape tyres can create that noise but again should be easy to see the fault, good luck.
