Bedford 18th Feb - great day - any video?
Discussion
Hi to all who went to Bedford with Easytrack on Saturday. I had a great time although I found it a bit crowded - a bit too much traffic. Not sure if anyone else found the same.
Ive heard a lot of PHers talking about the R26 but never seen one in action. There were two today that went very well.
Report back on my deal of the century Nokian tyres which im sorry to say were seriously lacking in feedback on the road and felt sloppy on the dry morning track - BUT they really came alive in the wet. What a bargain at £80 for a rear (normally £250+ each) or £300+ for Pirellis.
So any good video or pictures?

Myself my brother and a friend were up there yesterday and had a whale of a time in the old grey Citroen xsara. Which car were you in? Also in our group was one of the red mx5's and a Very orange clio. A good day was had by all and the rain didn't ruin things it made them more fun which was good.
The orange clio had a camera on the rollcage so I'll ask if he fancies putting the videos on YouTube and I'll post links.

I was in a black R8. The orange clio had a camera on the rollcage so I'll ask if he fancies putting the videos on YouTube and I'll post links.
Oh yeah I remember your cars. I think there were two red MX5s. One had a very witty license plate holder "no hairdressing tools left overnight in this vehicle" - was that you lot? You were all going well.
Would be good to see any video just for the conditions down that back straight.
I had a really great time there yesterday. It was quite busy but not too bad. I've previously been on 5 car Goodwood days and they can be quite dull because you sometimes don't have any cars around you. It was the first time I'd driven my car in the wet and I was really impressed with it.
The photographers were trackside image http://www.tracksideimage.com/ there were loads of your R8 when I was watching the rotation on the monitor...
I tried to take a few pics but it was so windy I couldn't keep the camera still!

which was certainly going well and sounded great.
Fatboy21 - I was one of the R26.r's (Grey with red wheels), I was just behind you when you had your "moment". Good day overall, though the queues were a pain. I also found my Yokohama AD048 semi-slick "challenging" in the afternoon!
You looked like you were going well - nice to see one on track.

I had a good day there... although I was hoping for dry weather, I'd brought a tintop as well as the MX5... but when it rained there was only one real option... the one *without* the roof, but with RWD...
It may not have been the fastest way around, but I think myself and my passenger did have a lot of fun:

I was there with a mate in the Orange Saxo VTS. Was her last outing before sale if anybody is interested - will be on the well known auction site from friday.
We took a few videos but yet to see if they are any good. Absolutely loved the Black R26R, my favourite of the day.
Awesome day, hardly any stoppages which was great too!
