20th Jan Bedford SEN via Openreach

Anyone else booked?

I got it for £80 in the sale.
Should be a good shakedown for my car.

Openreach are doing trackdays now? Are they going to promise you a consistent 150mph but once you've signed the contract you find you can only get 35 max if others are using the track?

Hopefully not too loud, Bedford are very strict with noise levels

Have fun chaps and do report back on how the day was, fingers crossed your days will be better than some of the recent openreach ones lol!

[xjay1337]

Lol :-(

Should be a good day. I tried to do Bedford a couple of years ago but got snowed off.......

Was a good day with the cold start! Saw your car on track and met you at the Shell in the morning

Yep in the Abarth Grande, I managed to cook my fluid just before lunch though, so had to pop out and get it replaced after, then hit the brakepad wear indicator about 5 laps after I returned! was a good day though.
