Anyone on here heading to Bedford Autodrome on Monday? First track day of this year for me, 3rd time at Bedford.
Looking forward to it!

Great day had and the weather was kind!
Pilot Sport Cup 2’s were as good as I hoped..still playing with pressures but predictable and great grip. Hard to gauge a lap time comparison with last year as I never got a clean lap and due to traffic and because of noise (black flag and pulled in for final warning on the first session!) I had to short shift after turn 1..still managed 2:45’s when I checked data and happy with consistent 1.2 to 1.3g cornering.
It seems they’ve added some yellow “sausage” kerbs on the straight chicane (inside the red and white kerbing) on entry and exit so cutting across is now a very bumpy ride!

1:45 is super fast!

Did you mean 2:45? Which is still damn damn quick, in fact on a typical track day I bet no one managed to pass you.

Yep...2:45’s ! Last year’s outing running 2:49 on oem street rubber with less camber front and oem calipers. Clear runs and no lifting would be a couple of seconds more off. b
