track evening anyone?

jarjarmustdie · 03-20-2013, 11:43 AM

Hi Guys and Girls
Looking to book up the bedford autodrome track evening for the 8th of April.
Did this last summer in my Z4 and was great fun for £49, with a good couple of hours of track time.
Anyone else booked up for this event?

ive been to bedford aero before in my type r was a good laugh im looking for some 18s for track days at min if can find some i will join , but not wanting to kill a set of 19s just yet lol

I'm thinking about it. I did an Atom experience at Bedford Autodrome and found it pretty small and plain as a track, but it does have large run off areas for the most part!

I fancy Brands Hatch, heres the link:

The South west track layout is bigger at 2.8 miles long

Will see what the weather is ddoing before booking I think

Full gp is 4.1 miles at Bedford, I would hardly call it small. 17 corners and longer then silverstone.

Brands is brilliant, but very small on the indi, and I've never seen a trackday using the full circuit.

As a trackday venue Bedford is brilliant, easy to get to, plenty of space if you get things wrong and a good mix of fast, slow and technical corners.

Brands is a fantastic racing circuit, but very technical, bumpy and narrow that punishes mistakes with the kitty litter or Armco. For experienced track day goers its excellent, but for people going for the first time or in their pride and joy Bedford is a better choice.

Good to see there is some interest on the forum

Not sure now what to do as its only 2 weeks away and the weather could ruin the evening

phil200tdi · 03-25-2013, 03:51 AM

For Â£49 I don't think you can lose!

Met office are predicting a heat wave - seriously!

magic77 · 03-25-2013, 04:28 AM

Damm just annoying its not local

mob17 · 03-25-2013, 05:30 AM

OMG this was exactly what i was after, seems perfect. But i'll be away on holiday

phil200tdi · 04-07-2013, 04:42 PM

So who else is going to this tomorrow?!

Anyone got a spare helmet!?

phil200tdi · 04-09-2013, 07:54 AM

A great event yesterday.

I'll try to pull together a more thorough review (of my car and others in attedance) in another thread. It was good to meet up with SubZero too!

Highly recommend MSVT - I actually felt that the evening session was enough track time and fantastic value. If you get a chance to book on another session its well worth it.

djgandy · 04-09-2013, 08:23 AM

hmmmmm next one in may. Really tempting for £50!

Subzero2003 · 04-10-2013, 08:02 AM
