If you haven't got ap brakes on, you'll only have half the fun Beware the noise you may make. There are 4 noise meters.
I had a session there in November and on my first real hot lap go tblack flagged. One steward was fine and pointed out noise meters meant I basically could not use 2nd gear and had to throttle back or wait to nail it in certain places.
Another steward was a right bloody jobs worth and would not offer any adviuce other than once more and you are off.
Something about neighbours I could not any F^&*&%^g houses for miles.
Still had a good day managed about 50 laps and there are no noise meters down the 1km straight so you can piss off porsche and M3 drivers.
I must say if you have standard brakes be careful!!

Welcome all... to my new street racing circuit.... MY STREET... Although, have to put a big speed bump in right outside my neighbours across the road. Plus you get extra points if you run her over.. ummm, maybe can use HER as a speed bump..
What is it with all these noise restrictions. Ok, can understand if the race track was built after the fact, but what you will probably find is the houses were built well after the race track.
Have the same problem back home on the farm, where our neighbours complain about the harvester at 5 am in the morning. Now I know for a fact that the farm has been there well before any houses were built. If you haven't been beside a Sugar Cane Harvester when it has been running, well, it ain't quiet I can tell you. But honestly, people really amaze me sometimes. Houses=cheap, close to airport, umm, should I expect noises from planes?

BO55, your normal insurance probably will cover you because it's not racing or pacemaking mate.
There's been a few test cases and have all (I believe) come out in favour of the policyholder.
In any case, Bedford is huge and open.
There's absolutely tons of run-off everywhere and because they have no spectator sports there, there's no armco.
FWIW, it may be that I can't bloody well make this now for boring reasons I wont go into here.
I want to but wont know for deffo until much closer to the time.
Grrrr
