I'm booked in to the Premier Inn at Priory Marina (MK419DJ) if anyone else is looking to book a hotel for the night before.

I don't see why not could always turn up early and have some passenger laps?

As David said, turn up and have a few laps. See if you can do your work on the laptop whilst whizzing round the track

You'll love it loads of run off room should have a moment and only one gravel trap

[andsoutham]

Yeah having a flat track is really good for learning the limits of your car, even more so when it's raining haha

[andsoutham]

insurance all paid for and a new air filter has been ordered, think the old one got damp and the engine then tried to eat it :P

Fully booked now

Hope you all had a lovely day. Heard about David's bad luck but hope you all had fun at least.

[andsoutham]

It was okay, would have liked to get some more laps in but due to weak boost hoses I spent more time under the car than I did driving it! Other that that it performed reasonably well. The seats are no where near enough supporting In the dry with track tyres so buckets have been added to the list of things!

Hopefully it will be back and ready for next year's antics

[pip_vrs]

Was a good day for me, 49 laps ~ 3.6 mile laps so around 175 miles of abuse.

Had a lot of good comments about the car and how impressed they were with it, which is nice

Now to strip it down and build it better over winter.

[pip_vrs]

Managed a pretty consistent lap time, obviously traffic depending but I was lapping at 3 min all day, the fastest was 2:57 and slowest was 3:04. 

Still a few corners I need to improve on through, but I do like Bedford.
