Bedford is quite close to me although I've never driven it. Plenty of run off so I hear
I won't be joining this one at that price as I and a few other members on here did cadwell yesterday. Absolutely amazing. Defiantly worth a go if you've not already. Bedford is on my list of tracks to do.
Have a good one bud

Yeah really looking forward to it as I've only done Castle Combe and Oulton. Not many tracks near me in driving distance but my family is in Nearby so going down Friday night then drive up in the morning.
Really annoying as so many tracks I want to do but just think it will ruin me to drive that far to spend all day spanking it round a track and then drive all the way back. I'm going to try to hit Oulton before the end of the year, might just have to stay in a cheap hotel the night before lol

That's what myself and coyote did for Cadwell yesterday. Stayed in a hotel the night before (3.5 hour drive there), and stayed at jdmsteve's the Wed night, makes the trip a lot easier.

So i had a great day out with my brother at Bedford, sorry i didnt get round to getting any pics. So many awesome cars there but Honda wasnt too well represented (only an EP3 and a DC2). Tons of Porsche's (GT3's and Carrera's) a couple of R35's, a CHROME wrapped 370Z! (lets say that wasnt to my taste), some 205's, some EVO's, some M3's (E46's E90's), some Ariel Atoms, you get the picture so a really good mix of very capable cars.
Also the fastest Saxo ive ever come across in my life! On closer inspection i soon understood why, it was running a full suspension setup, ARB's completely stripped out, some engine tuning work, and A048's, overall an extremely well setup car with a capable driver, you'll see it at some point in the vids.
I managed to record a few sessions from after the lunch break, the morning was quite wet but eventually dried out thank god. I got a bit "over confident" on the first session after lunch so that one isnt the best.
This was my first time here and i still have bags of room for improvement, and watching these back i can already see lots more areas to improve on top of what i already knew (some of it just requires a little more courage shall we say) and i think with some more practice and the removal of a certain pie muncher from the passenger seat i can easily get well below the 3 min barrier.
Unfortunately several laps were lost due to the app crashing until i rebooted the phone before the last session.
Ive stiched the laps together into 3 sessions for ease of viewing, hope you like and have fun watching me make a fool of myself, hopefully you guys can give me some constructive critisism rather than taking the urine

Harry's lap timer is an awesome little app, only £15ish for the petrolhead version which includes the ability to record video. The throttle/gear/rev data is produced using a generic OBD wifi tool paired with my iphone and vehicle specifications programmed into the settings of the app, so all in only £30 not incluing the mount for the phone. If you need a hand setting up let me knowbeppe786 said:

Wow this is a fast circuit. I'd be flat out down those straights with my FD on the governor lol
