View Full Version : Next Bedford trackday? Richard Askew 11 April 2002, 18:37 ..this saturday at goodwood - Lancia register jobbie.. Diesel 11 April 2002, 18:47 Richard, do you have the URL for this? Could be fun. Thanks. PS guess the EVO guys set these up too - any idea wher to find info. Markus 15 April 2002, 22:41 hmm, would have been good, but still in USA so was a no-go CROYDON 16 April 2002, 10:16 Goodwood, I did it yesterday and its a great circuit. I must stress that good brakes are the key factor to this track as its the second fastest in the country (Thruxton 1st). Massive sweeping straights with only the apex marked it needing a few sessions to judge the correct braking points, Back straight 135 mph down 2 gears in to a right hander took some practice!! ....IS dela 18 April 2002, 11:37 I've got good memories of that back straight at Goodwood. A couple of years back I did a trackday in my uprated MGB. Flat-out 110mph down the back straight, I lift to start braking and nothing happened, I was still accelarating. The good old throttle linkage on the twin carbs had got stuck. I made it through the corner, just proving I'd been going through there too slowly on previous laps. That taught me you car has to be in top order before these type of events. dela Markus 18 April 2002, 15:44 Brakes are not a problem! this is one of the reason I got the movit brakes, to be able to handle this kind of thing with no problems! tarmacterrorist 21 May 2002, 08:19 Hey guys...going to Bedford for a day out courtesy of a supplier. Can anyone give me a link to a website that will tell me about the track ? Any pointers from peeps that have driven the track would be appreciated. Thanx. Andy. Diesel 21 May 2002, 11:34 search on Bedford Autodrome or Palmersport best tip is to turn in later than you instinctively want to, and that you can get round the corner at the end of the straight at about 90 - honest! Trout 22 May 2002, 06:53 Is going to Bedford on 1st June - :D:D:D:D:D Against Ferries and Porks! Will be fun humiliating them ;) Trout :D Diesel 22 May 2002, 11:11 Who did you book that with Trout?

Let's see how many I can upset! Trout :D Markus 04 November 2002, 19:31 Any ideas when the next trackday at Bedford is? I'm kicking myself for not putting the car on track on the 30th and I think bedford would be the ideal track for a track virgin like me, even though brands hatch is 40mins away from me (yes I know about the imminent trackday at BH, but can't make it due to work :() I've heard goodwood is good (no pun intended ;)) for virgins as well, any ideas when/if a goodwood day is coming up.
