Is anyone on here going to Bedford on 29th April...

[phase_k]

...in a Westfield (or other? )

I'm going in my S2000 with my brother in law in his Impreza and another friend in a Golf Turbo.

I notice there are a couple of Westfields on the list and wondered if I could blag a passenger ride?

Yes, i'll be there in my E36 M3 Evo. Having the brakes uprated next week!

First visit to Bedford and looking forward to it.

Anyone staying up there the Friday night or can recoomend a B&B?

planning to be at brands for 18th April (in a westie)

[phase_k]

Simon - I'll see you there!

Mollydood - Is that booked with motorsportvision? Mid week isn't great for me.

Either i'm blind or this day isn't with MSV.
Who is running this day? Anyone got a link, so i can find out more details.

Thanks

a bit of confusion in this thread I think! The day at Bedford Autodrome is with us (www.bookatrack.com) on the 29th April.

cheers,

I'll be there in my Tuscan, and my girlfriend will be taking her new Elise out on track for the first time!

thanks for that. co.uk though

Which track layout is being used?

Very tempted to book this.

[phase_k]

Its the full 'Grand Tourismo' circuit I think.

[timmo]

Im taking the Megane 225 F1 RS for a run out
its done a 1000 miles now so it deserves a good
bashing

[molydood]

yep, through msv, brands hatch on 18th.
the bedford day is 29th with BaT, as as been said now.

Im still consdiering the BaT day but fancied trying brands, and wanted to do something earliest as possible

I'm booked for this now. Red clio 182 trophy.

Anyone know the noise limit for bedford? I have a mate who's celica gt4 puts out 105db without a baffle. Is this ok? On the bookatrack site they had nothing listed for noise limit at beford.

[jleroux]

Bedford is 101dB static, 87.5dB drive-by from 20m. I had forgotten that the site didn't have the noise limit listed (I was waiting for confirmation from the circuit).

Will go and add that now.

Just booked in, looking forward to giving the old girl a good thrashing! Managed to get the g/f to come along too

[scaryx50]

I'm booked on the 29th April in my porker. I've just come back from there actually with Easytrack and it was so good I had to book again. It's a huge circuit and one where you can have 50 cars on track and not feel crowded! I need to book some new tyres for after the event as I lost about 2 mil from the rears and they will be shot after one more day. I'm also probably going to upgrade my pads as there are a few good straights and my brakes got pretty hot.
Can't wait.

[ge2]

Yep, first one of the year

This'll be my first car track day ever and the brakes are my only worry on my E36. What are you upgrading to?

[jezza l]

just a couple of days away now.

with only one day to go there are 3 things you could do to help your braking.

1) Bleed them completely and put some high temp brake fluid in eg ATE Blue.

2) I have a heavy track car similar to the M3 in weight, cheapest high performance pads for the front are probably EBC Yellows -- once they are conditioned to the disc they are very good indeed IMO.

3) Finally, if you are 'sympathetic' to your brakes then you will just be fine -- however, thrash the life out of them for +15 minutes ignoring 1 & 2 above, then be prepared for brake fade -- once experienced never forgotten!!!
