I am relatively new to trackdays and have booked an evening session with MSV at Bedford.

The confirmation that I have says it's "Bedford Autodrome SW". I have done a day at Bedford before on the entire GT circuit but wondered what layout the SW is, whether it's just the south or a combination of south and west from these here:

Can anyone confirm the layout and if so, does anyone have any you tube footage of driving this circuit, so at least I am not going in "blind" on lap 1.

Many Thanks for any help.

It is the south west circuit. it is difficult to describe the track without a proper map, but it is most of the west circuit, the long straight and a few quick 90 lefts. it is a flowing track which you should enjoy!! look on youtube for bedford south west circuit. should find a few.

Thanks all for your help.

I finally found this on Lotus on Track which I thought I'd post in case anyone else searches for this info in the future



Also, a few videos on you tube as suggested which are very useful.

clap



SW is the evening circuit normally although i have seen the GT one used once

SW is pretty flowing compaared with the rest of Bedford, it is the power and mid speed corner part fo the circuit although still hard on the brakes
