Bedford 30.10.2004 pics

I am still a bit new to this photgraphy lark, so the images are not perfect by a long way, but an improvement over my Donington ones. See the link below for the pictures.

The day started off very foggy and cleared in to a nice sunny day by the afternoon. As well as taking a few pics, I was taking a few pax laps in my mates Westfield XTR4 things.....blimey, I honestly think it was the fastest thing there!.....£30k anyone?
Full size images available on request.
For an idea of the quality and size of a full size image, have a look at the Carrera GT img_4380.
I know there are a few PHers on there!

Truly an amazing day. Although I have to say the most impressive car on the track was definetly the Clio 172 cup. The carrera GT didn't even make space between it! I think it was the most amazing £ to perfromance I'd ever seen!
Thanks for the pics! Here's that CGT bearing down on me! http://dmalings.fotopic.net/p8718893.html
Have to say, the CGT does make a funny noise. Sounds a bit like the diff has gone!
Excellent incident free day!

Bit disappointed, looked like a great day and I was hoping to be there taking the place of a last minute drop out but alas nobody got back to me. Was going to take the Cooper S as the NSX is too low on brakes - would have been fun to dice with the Clio 172! 
Oh well, maybe next time.....Really fun! I did some in car video, which had a camera mounted inside and facing out. Unfortunately, the internal camera had fallen off the window during my biggest 'moment' - opposite lock power slide on both locks. I'll try and upload it to a server so you can take a peak.
Basically it's very forgiving and gives loads of information to the nut behind the wheel about it's forthcoming tricks!
I went out in a GT3 and it's clearly faster through the corners but it's so plainly obvious that a turbo4 is a road car but it does handle very well indeed.
I spent half a day with an instructor who seems to love it.
The best thing about it I think is although people complain about understeer; which it does do, it's also very steerable on the throttle. I won't be performing any mods until I can get the very most from it as it is.
As I've already said, the Clio was making mince meat of pretty much everything, especially impressive considering the company it was keeping! Didn't make sense to my pea sized brain at all!
