Black F430

White M3. First track day, so leave plenty of room and be gentle.

Excellent, some serial VMAXer's Edb, I expect plenty of tail out drifty action from an M3

Genuinely quite worried about the day, but I figure I have to start somewhere. Hopefully some kind-hearted person can jump in and tell me what I'm doing wrong

I am bringing my EVO IX XT400 and my M5 (Tow Car) also one of my mates is bringing his Impreza along
c you all there

[jossronchetti]

Be pleased to give you a few pointers, I also race a Sunbeam Lotus in a couple of Championships(far quicker than the Evo and the M5!!

Hi Ed,

I will insist on jumping in at some point I know Bedford very well, and have a little experience of the E92 M3 so happy to give some pointers for you Ed. I guess VMAX will at least have given you a taste of the chassis behaviour on the limit....

Come over and say hello!

cheers,
Steve

Naturally However I intend to spend most of my time on track either driving or passenger

[jossronchetti]

Hope the weather will be as good as it was today!!!
Be really interesting to see how sideways the M3 gets if its wet!!

Balls to that. I'm doing a raindance all week!

Cool this is sounding good.

Itsmy first trackday (in a car) so i am not sure what to expect either, i have paid for some track tuition, but it seems there are some experts on here to ask for help as well.

I am so exited I just let out a bit of wee.

I have no pistonheads stickers on the car as its the birds, but I will have a very leary orange/red arai lid.

And will be noticable as the one on the slow part of the track.

I remember that feeling, still get it a little now Bedford is great fun, ideal if you've never done a trackday before. What will you be driving?

[jossronchetti]

Don't get the wrong idea, I love to trackday/race in the rain, it really sorts out the men from the boys!!...lol
I just don't like standing around wet and miserable in between sessions out on track!!
Can't we just have good weather and wet the track down?? That would be a good solution!..lol

What would be ideal is for it to rain right up till 9am, then the sun comes out but its cold enough that the track doesn't dry out. I think it could very well happen that way!

[jossronchetti]

I am hoping we get a bit of wet and dry so we will get to use both the Slicks and the full wets we are bringing with us.
I can't wait to see the faces of passengers when I am cornering as fast in the pouring rain on the wets as I can on a bone dry track with Yoko A048's.
