early doors for the trackday year, £119 for an open pitlane, yes it's a bit flat and featureless, but dammit it's fast!!!

hopefully a few of us going down for a shakedown of new kit, blow away the winter cobwebs, and trying not to pirouette on the inevitabley rainy, slick surface...

let's rumble!!!!




**note** not a FF event, nor am i organising, merely informing of an event that may be of intrest to like minded lead foots
 
I'm in! Booked last night.

If you've never done a track day before, Bedford is a great place to start. It's a big circuit, 4.7 miles, nice big flat run off areas and precious little hard stuff to bump into. The marshalling is top notch as well. You can also do one on one driving instruction with race drivers for very little money on the day. I've done about 300 laps there in the 500 on previous days.

google is your friend.........

failing that click on the link in the original post....

failing that, open wide as i spoonfeed you: about an hour north of watford(which is just north west of that there london town), up the M1
 
has now gone up to £109, guess they were right about price vs availability....

anyway, from the people i know who are going, hopefully there will be quite a bit of fun stuff on track:

911 turbo
noble gto
alfa gtv
vectra 2.5
 
total bust, heavy snow stopped play before we even got started, track was declared undriveable under ice, buildup of snow, and more driving in.

finally made it out onto the track! the weather didn't look too promising, with some heavy rain as it lightened, but the pitlane looked good with allsorts of machinery ready to rumble, then tippex turned up:
