Bedford - Monday 19th May, big off

[Chr1sch]

Had my first trackday on Monday alas as a passenger, but an amazing experience and one that's reassured me of driving standards to a degree where I'd be willing to take my own car...

Saw a huge off about an hour in with a beautiful and tadtefully modded 06 m3 Cs being put on its roof!

Was it anyone on here? Glad to see that driver/passenger were ok but a very humbling reminder not to go to mad!

Overall Bedford (full circuit) seems like a great track for a newbie, I'm now off to buy a cheap trackday car!! (Clio 16v's were flying around all day long, c63 with a lunched gearbox less so...)

Cheers

Yeah he missed the Nova by about 3 ft at best, very sobering, lovely car too

Clio's were massively impressed, i've been watching ebay ever since

The guy in the red one with black wheels was a nutter lol - seriously fast little car

There was a lovely dark blue 172 very low with williams wheels - was a stunner!

Felt sorry for the bloke whose wheel fell off!

Yes that rings true regarding the instructor, saw a guy who I believe was one just after the crash

Not sure about lifting, sounds pretty committed in the video and from what I can remember

I also seem to recall the passenger airbag went off...

Hope it was insured!

The C63's sounded incredible, glad to hear its 'only' over heating.

We were in the Black Focus ST and the Black Leon Cupra R (red wheels) - all newbies so hope we did ok!

Both GTR's were incredibly quick, i'll see what pics/videos we have!

Hot brakes....

ah interesting i didnt realise that was David Yu - fair do's an impressive car and he seems pretty handy behind the wheel too...

That vx220 goes well, turbo i presume?
