Bedford SEN Saturday 2nd May

[KRL]

I'll be heading over on Saturday in the Caterham for this. Anyone else going?

I'm there in a red Noble.

Was a decent day! Sorry I did not have time to come over and say hello Jarcy - your car looked lovely!

I captured one of the more interesting moments of the day on video. Brown trousers moment for this Porsche Cayman which ended up going backwards in the grass. Hopefully both car and driver were ok as I saw them out again later in the day.

I thought of finding you to say hi, but didn't know which of the many Caterhams you were driving.
Yes a fun day for sure. I was stricken by a sticky throttle cable, but didn't spoil the day too much - just gave me one hairy moment the first time it stuck wide open!

I had a quick chat with the Cayman driver and also followed him on track. He certainly was there to test the full limits of the car and was very quick.
I was beating myself up over that chicane, thinking I was braking too much before and not carrying enough speed through it (just over 70mph). However having seen this 'off', I'm glad that I was prudent!
Rockingham on Tuesday is my next venture (so long as I can get a new throttle cable fitted in time).

Hope he de-clutched!

Jarcy you love Bedford. About as much as I do. Imagine I shall see you again this summer!
