Martyn,
Most Trackdays insist on road worthy Vehciles that doesn't include Tyres some, but not Bedford insist on road tyres and no Slicks.

Just remember "If" you leave site to refuel or Eat at Lunch time, your car will need to have Legal No.Plates and Legal Tyres. There is fuel on site but not the cheapest IIRC IMHO

Good advice Tony ........

I would bring your 16's and swap them in the morning then swap them back at the end of the day. If your not going to do loads of tracks then dont waste you money on brand new tyres.

Two questions:

1. I've ordered buffet meals - will tickets be sent out?

2. If I bring a set of wheels/tyres to use on track is there a secure storage area for my road set?
Thanks

Martin

I presume it will be ok to just turn up to watch as it is at all other race circuits.
I am staying the night at the travelodge in Rushden a few miles north of the Autodrome after spending the day on friday at the Historic Sports car show at Stoneleigh, so thought it ideal to then come and watch and video the action.

I dont think you will get in andy ....They dont like spectators there. Its a pretty closed place. Might be worth phoning ahead.

Are you sure about that Phil? When we arrived at the RS day last saturday the only reason they didnt turn us away was because we had rung before and got permission. They weren't going to let us in.

I have spent the last 3 months praying for it not to rain and now i think I want it too, to get rid of the fecking snow .......arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh
