Briskoda How Fast 2015 Bedford 02/05/2015

Featured Replies

Cheers.

 

Just asking, because in the past when I've been karting - if someone spins, often the driver (or drivers!) behind will hit them.

 

How close does everyone get on track ?

  • Some photos from today.   Not many action shots as Bedford does have any public trackside access and my camera isn't really up to modern day standards.   All shots therefore from pit lane, most ar

  • Unlikely, I'm quite slow apparently. I just do well because I have a flash car.

If it is going to make you feel more relaxed than take it out, expect to pay around £65-£90 depending on the options and with whom you take the insurance with.

 

You will get as close as you want, up to you. When you see your mirrors full of a car simply indicate and slow down on a straight to let them go, this is not a race :)

Karting tends to be competitive.

 

The only competitve part of this day is when you are on track on your own for the final times laps. :)

Earlier we are all just practicing.

Question to organizers.

 

Is the session open to briskoda member's friends?

You brought your friend in a Nissan 370z last time.

Who took part.

 

I believe the idea is to have it open, but for the purposes of order posted on here/trophies limit it to forum users.

Otherwise someone will invite along a few GT-Rs and screw everything up...

and I was quicker too :D

 

The thing about the hour of practice beforehand is it is JUST practice.  Normal trackday etiquette applies and in my experience is practiced in that time - i.e the usual indicate/ease off to let someone past, not overtaking in corners, only overtake with permission from car in front, and of course not hounding the car in front either. :)   I've yet to go on a HOW FAST? (even with other non briskoda types there) where this hasn't been the case.  Always helps if everyone goes in with a P.M.A, and then all is well.  :thumbup:

PS: For the actual timed bits you are sent out at staggered times with cars about the same pace as you, so during the final timed bits which count you will NOT encounter another car providing they don't crash or break down of course. :)

LOL, he was a tad annoyed about that one :D.

 

He is buying a new GT-R at the end of may to address this situation  :devil:

It's all just a bit of fun, but buying a new GT-R is a bit excessive to just beat a poxy diesel fabia :D

I was joking, he always wanted to buy a GT-R and I was always egging him on :), Part of it was being beaten by diesel mk1 Fabia :D

I was thinking about two other friends. this time.

One with a V8 Merc AMG - sth like8 years old,  and the other in a Q3 or Q5. It is late notice so not sure if they will be able to attend.

I just thought I'd ask here first before asking them :)

Brisk Rover currently unbroken and no events due before this one so that means it'll  be there. Just need to put my track tyres on and rip the rear seats back out again and jobs a goodun :thumbup:

Plenty of tools in the garage :D

 

You might be there before me then. I'm at a management course in Watford which potential goes on until 5.30ish put me home probably 6.15. Bird should be home though, she'll probably let you in.

I don't have a problem with that at all Jabo.

As long as they don't mind the trophies held for Briskoda members, which I think is fair as it's a session for us.

They would effectively be guest drivers. :)

I wouldn't worry about the trophies for non Brisky attendees, after all  they have to beat us first  :p

I'll start with excuses then, it's my first time on this track haha

You will be fine Trev, you were more than competent at Oulton Park. Bedford is not as demanding or as long.

Called up and gave my payment details today.

Now I just have to hope Shark manage to get my STS box to me in enough time....

Is this limited to 18 places?

Jason will probably confirm but I think it is, that's the beauty of it

I believe this is the case per Pastyboy.  Still 3 spots left then??

 

Anyone else had their money taken yet by How Fast??

No money taken from me and no confirmation Email, keen to know times for arrival/check in etc

I would love to attend but I won't know if I have to work on Saturday until Friday. If there's still a space left by then I'll ring up and bag it.

No money out for me yet either
