Yes, I'll be there and looking forward to it.
What do you drive Lady Ruston?
A Mk3 MR2.... in a very bright green, so I'm easily spotted
Can't wait for tomorrow. I was at Bedford a few weeks back for the first time and had a fantastic day. The weather should be even better tomorrow.
Only thing I'm not so keen on is the early start... we've got to leave at 5am!
Note that the layout of the GT Circuit has changed since the last time you went. I was there with Lotus-on-Track on Friday on the first trackday held on it. I have to say the consensus was quite negative but some of this may be down to the surface still releasing some of the tarmac oil and therefore being pretty slippy. Here is the new layout showing (in red) the old section.

Thanks for the warning. That should make it even more interesting.
I can scrap the notes in my Dunlop Circuit Guide!

Two extra hairpins in about half a mile looks like a bit of a PITA to me. Brakes will be buzzing by the end no doubt. Have a great dayout.

Only just spotted that .. Good choice
. The car I used was a Mk3 MR2 also, it's my everyday drive which I take on track if the opportunity arises. I was instructing for LoT on that day and managed to grab a few laps just before the close. OK. Here is a single lap video from Friday. It's not great quality but does give you an idea of the new section.

Do you still wear the stockings & suspenders, that you wear in your everyday drive, when you are working for Lotus on Track??? .... Bet the "boys" love you!!!!
