Bedford GT Saturday May 23rd

[RKi]

Just signed up for this, there must be some from here attending too? Lots of cars signed up on the Javelin website.

Will be in a Silver Evo VI.

I've noticed that i appear to be the only evo in attendance

No clue what the weathers going to do tbh. Getting conflicting reports from different weather websites :S

Had a fun day yesterday. Was fun talking to some new people and making my gf sick after 2 laps of her first trackday :P

Hope the bloke and his wife were ok in the Merc. Heard they went off at "Gas Canister" corner at 110 mph due to brake failure.

I'll get my videos uploaded this week.

Small video of me having a big lockup.

I'll upload my longer morning and afternoon sessions later.

I had the boost maxed out in that video which produces about 460 bhp and 450 ft lbs. Thats a standard Evo 6 5 speed gearbox. God knows what the ratios feel like in an RS!

Just watched your vid. Some pace your car has, think you'd have got passed that GT3RS if you hadn't locked up just then!

Annoyingly i never saw that car on track again all day. It certainly had more grip out of the chicane than me, guess that's the difference between 315 and 235 rears.

Isn't your Evo 4wd?

Yup, but bicycle tyres gonna bicycle tyre.

Well, I guess Evo's are renowned for not having much traction when exiting bends, with their 4wd, active yaw and all that

Ha, I can't argue with you much there. Second gear acceleration out of hairpins and slow corners is pretty ludicrous. However, in longer, higher speed corners the gt3 would have the edge.

Naturally my AYC has been broken for 2 years too :]

Hi Todd,

Car looking and sounding really quick!

Have you changed it much since last time I saw you at brands?

That much power and torque must be brilliant fun

What tyres were you on?

Don't suppose you're going to the MLR sprint at Castle Combe June 13th ? - if so will see you there

Hi Sam. I changed the exhaust to a Fujitsubo Legalis R. The car sounds like a Dyson now, but i never got noise warned once at Bedford so i'm happy. Apart from that i haven't changed anything. I tend to drive faster at Bedford than anywhere else because its so hard to bin it.

I'm still on the Yoko AO48R's i've had for over 2 years. Found out that they're the medium to hard compound. They're insanely good and i might cry when they're finished as i sure as hell aint buying more at £900 a set. I won't be going to a sprint anytime soon, maybe if i improve a ton as a driver in the next few years i'll give if a try.

I think i'll get a Brands evening session in next, hopefully pushing quite a bit harder than last time with it not being December or my first time at the circuit :]
