    British Superbike Rider Charlie Nesbitt Talks Castle Combe Circuit Lap Record | Combe TV S2 Ep3

    Castle Combe Circuit's outright lap record on two wheels belongs to British Superbike rider Charlie Nesbitt, and in this episode of Combe TV he explains exactly how he set it. As host Chris Dawes notes in the conversation, no other rider has even gone below 1:08 around Castle Combe, which puts Charlie's 1:06.6 in a league of its own. Filmed trackside during an MPS Motorsport bike track day at Castle Combe in Wiltshire, host Chris Dawes sits down with Charlie to talk speed, setup and what it actually takes to lap this famous South West England circuit at the absolute limit. Charlie set his record of 1:06.6 in 2024, riding a British Superbike machine in the years following the circuit's resurfacing and reprofiling, and the same year he took the King of Combe title, beating reigning champion Max Symonds. In this conversation he walks through the lap corner by corner, from the flat-out run over Avon Rise, through Quarry Corner, The Esses and Old Paddock, round Gooch's (formerly known as Tower), and into the closing sequence of Bobbies chicane, the motorbike-only Bybrook chicane and Camp Corner, explaining where the bike moves around, where the bumps catch you out, and where a perfect lap is won or lost. Beyond the lap record, Charlie talks about his move to a new team this season after four years with Hawk Racing, life on a Honda in the British Superbike Championship, his love of Castle Combe's sister circuit Thruxton, and why he is chasing the British title rather than a world championship. He also opens up on his role as a track day coach for personal sponsor MPS Motorsport, offering free tuition to riders at Castle Combe, and shares his honest advice for any young rider hoping to follow the same path from mini motos to the British Superbike grid. Castle Combe Circuit has been hosting competitive motorsport in Wiltshire since 1950, and remains one of the South West's premier motorsport venues for race meetings, car and bike track days, and driving experiences throughout the year.
