Autocar trackday @ Bedford July 28th

[trackdemon]

Anyone else going to this day? I've always enjoyed the Autocar days, not least because of the chance to drive the guest vehicle - Caterham this time!! I'll be in the Cooper S

They always seem a lot more then a normal evening at Bedford. Is the extra money worth it? Do you get much time in the guest car?

Food before and after & 3 months subscription (worth about £30 at shop prices) makes it better value than it may first appear. Sadly you dont get much time in the guest cars, just a flavour.

I'll be there.

Bringing along some trackday virgin mates in some interesting metal including an M6, Cayman S, 360 Spider and a 575 SuperAmerica.

Hope you're bringing your camera trackdemon!

Of course, although I intend to spend a goodly amount of time on track holding up quick stuff down the straights, and annoying them through the corners

Do come and say hello to a fellow Essex'er, I may jump in for a ride with you? Had a little time at the wheel of S3am's GT3 @ Bruntingthorpe & loved it - would be interesting to see how one goes round Bedford.

Thats if they let you drive it - last year they would only let you passenger in one, but I think you can drive a SL300 or similar - they are good fun!

Will your mates 360 spider get through the noise limits?? Last year I saw someone with a spider fail the test by miles, not sure whether it was a standard exhaust though.

He's got a capristo on it. Haven't heard it before but I reckon it'll be touch and go.

How do they check at Bedford? Is there a sensor fixed at trackside or do they do it manually at certain times?

I know where the track side sensors are - change up early when passing them and you should be OK.

Loving this:



If you could send high res to [e-mail] that'd be great! You should have blagged a ride in the Mini - hilarious around the back section of Bedford and particularly Tower (as you captured).
