Has anyone done there ARDS test at Bedford autodrome?
Planning on doing mine later in the year, just wanted to hear how people got on there??
I've done half a dozen track days at Bedford as it's my local so thought it would be the best place for it, unless people think Silverstone is wildly better some how?

Thanks, Jamie.

I did mine there in Jan of last year and had a really good instructor/examiner. Whilst the flag test was a tad nerve-wracking, the driving part was a pleasure (even if the VXTs they have there are really showing their ages now!). They all seemed keen for you to pass, as opposed to trying to catch you out if that's what you're asking. If you're used to the track then that's half the battle won, assuming you're not spinning on every corner.

Don't know how much it's changed (if at all) in the past 10 years?

For the drive, be on the steady side of quick rather than lairy. They want to see you can drive quickly and within your own limit in as consistant way as possible. If you look a liability, they won't be keen to pass you.

Remember ALL your flags.

The multiple choice is common sense.

Remember ALL your flags.

And enjoy it!
