Bedford this saturday

[mikeyh]

Anyone else coming to bedford with RMA this saturday? Looks like we may need snow tyres...

[legaleagleboy]

Yes I am going with my Porsche 968 (white std coupe) and hopefully a few others 968 owners are pitching up as well.

Snow would definitely make it interesting -- the Jan RMA was very wet and had some fun then. Am hoping it is dry so that I can try some Pirelli P Zero C's that are worn down a bit (ie on a spare set of rims).

What car are you running?

I'll be there Silver 964RS.

BTW Legaleagle is it your 968 that is sometimes parked at the station in Kettering?

[mikeyh]

January certainly was fun, hope we get the full track this time tho...

I'll be there in my blue Elise.

yes i do live in Kettering and have left it there once or twice in the last few months when going on a quick trip to London -- if it was me very well spotted.

r u thinking of visiting Bedford on Saturday?

Yeah i'll be there in the red 968 CS, really hope it doesn't snow. The weather forcast shows snow showers all day and clearing by 6pm.

Is there a refund or a credit if the track is snowed out?

I'll be there in my CSL. Think I'll stick to road tyres though

great day, cold but dry (light snow had fallen overnight but just too warm to settle).

my worn P Zeros on a spare set of rims were fun, lethal when cold but a whole new experience when warmed up.

drove 190 miles, used £60 fuel, a Noble and an Elise did splendid slo-mo spins in front of me (separate occasions!) no damage apart from to my wallet.

going back on 24th April for more fun.

I was there too in a lowered silver c2 996.

Fantastic day/ facilities/ organization as usual.
Was my 30th visit to bedford and know the track well. ...so it was good fun giving the gt3 boys a bit of a run for their money too.

Amazing the number of porsches there.

Out of 100 cars, I reckon 50 were from Stuttgart.
Only 2 tvrs/ 1 ferrari (which failed the now very strict noise test) and a handful of elises/ evos/ m3s.

Plus one VERY VERY quick green Caterham!!

Hi Paul - I was the "GTO ZOOM" Noble - I did a "perfect" tyre smoking "90" on the palmer curves but didn't have anyone behind me so I don't think the spin was mine!
