Welcome to the home of the Western Group

WHAT WE DO
Our PR Driving Day at Castle Combe Circuit
Every year the Western Group of Motoring Writers invites PRs from various companies to our special event at Castle Combe. Many cars are available to drive from many manufacturers, its a great day and has been held for many years.

What we say…
I am a recent member of the Western Group of Motoring Writers and have found it highly useful for my business. It is a very well connected and respected motoring group within the UK car industry.The annual Western Group PR driving day is an excellent event for networking within the industry and a most enjoyable day for all involved.

I’m a relatively recent addition to the Group, but I’ve already found very useful.
