Bedford 27th Feb is the next one booked. Trying to get one booked for Brands before that as I will have had some work done and want to see how it improves my times.

Also planning my first race in March smile at Brands.

More weight stripping, race battery, new team dynamics rims, new front splitter, front adjustable top mounts amongest other things. This should all be done some time this month with a bit of luck.

Race is 27th/28th March. Just waiting for confirmation of which day.

Do you not fancy bedford autodrome on 27th feb?
