Default Bedford Track Day

Apologies as i dont really post much on here and I know its not really scooby, but I thought I would post up a few pics and videos of my recent outing to Bedford Autodrome as I have been asked if I would like to come along to a track day with you guys early next year (Phils fault)

The weather held up and it stayed dry throughout the day (it spat for about half an hour around lunchtime) and there were some really nice cars there.

Only bads news is its looking like its cost me a set of tyres all round along with pads and disks.

But money well worth it especially when I over heard 2 blokes chatting about my car and one said 'seen that out today, its a bit of a tool that'

Made my day that comment

Anyway, enough of the chit chat here a some photos of the other cars:

some nice looking cars there

1 question, were there any issues with noise levels??? As the couple of bedford days i have been there with scoobies, a lot were getting black flagged for noise.....and i am sure some of those cars are louder than a scoob.

edited for accuracy

Only joking , Bedford is well recommended for starting out on track as it has more space for mistakes unlike Brands. Wouldn't mind a go myself but I always assumed I would be too Noisy ?

Running just shy of 300bhp which to you boys probably is not all that

But I was happy with the way it held its own against some nice cars remembering it was my first time ever on a track and is front wheel drive

Some more vids here if you want to look:
