I paid for 1/2 hour instruction at Bedford, well worth it.

It was 20 minutes in my car, and then a 10 minute chat afterwards, it really helped for the rest of the day.

I was running on Map1 or standard map, no need for any more power.

Smooth is the key in a weighty road car, turning it up and trying to use 420bhp+ just made the engine and brakes get hotter and my driving much less smooth.

Budget for LOADS of fuel - as much £ as the trackday itself, my average for the day, 120 miles track and 220 miles of road was 14.8mpg, ouch.

Well interested in a forum track day at Snetterton or Bedford. Been wanting to go to one for a long long time.

That way you are with likeminded drivers, similar cars, and should all know each other roughly! Can provide tuition with ARDS instructors too for those that want it.

If anyones interested let me know. I know its a bit far for some people but it would be worth it, obviously I work for MSV so if anyone has any general questions etc Id be happy to help.

sounds very good!!!!
