Anyone here doing Bedford on Sat 13 Feb?
Discussion
Hi, I am currently considering doing it however it'd be my first track day, and I'm currently debating as to if I should do a novice only track day.
I've been slowly getting the car ready, replaced all the fluids. I just need to replace the ditch finders on the front and the car will be ready,
So in short - possibly! Enjoy the day regardless

To be fair I think you'll be okay on a non-novice day. There's always several people who are on their first day and I reckon there's a good argument that you don't want _everybody_ else around you to be a novice like you!I've been slowly getting the car ready, replaced all the fluids.

Just checked the weather forecast on Accuweather, it looks to be improving slightly - crossing those fingers!

wet laps in the afternoon featuring the sliding abilities of the black C63 taken from my black MX5.

Morning lappage with some chasing down in the corners of a nice 911 and M5.
in all a great day despite the weather turning iffy. twas a bit slippery out there for the afternoon but it didnt stop us putting down 220 miles on the circuit
good driving standards all round and from memory no stoppages. the GTR? Porsche and the Merc GTS were certainly giving it some despite the conditions, well done men, and at the other end or the spectrum, the boys in the red MX5 sliding their way around and having fun, thats what these days are all about. i hope your cooling issues sorted itself out, it didnt seem to stop you getting out there.
roll on the next day,

Hey mate, looks good Bloody typical, despite starting a thread to try and meet PHers, I didn't get off my arse between sessions to go meet anyone
Managed one 30 min stint in the 620R first thing and it was mega, especially when I realised that if I gave it a bit of welly getting in I would "fit" wearing my warm jacket
After a break I tried to go back out for a second session but the drizzle had properly started and on the second lap it just got ridiculous as it was like sheet ice on the ZZrs as it was so greasy: understeer into the corner, touch the gas and instant oversteer. Plus the added fun of basically not being able to touch the brakes I spun at about 20mph on the hairpin at the put exit, then ran straight on through the chicane before the main straight as all the wheels locked up when I looked at the middle pedal a bit too hard - luckily I didn't collect any signs on the way off. Oh, and my mate got both on video
Anyway, spent the rest of the day in the Boxster having a great time
