Excellent pictures.

I wanted to go on this one but it was full. I did bassingborne instead in my caterham.

It too was slippery

Looks like you had a great day

Fine line in some of those pics if you don't mind me being critical. No objection to people finding their car's limits, but personally I wouldn't want to be following so closely to someone doing it. Had someone do something similar to me ages back, overtook me into Gerrards at Mallory, then immediately lost control right in front of my Elise. I was not impressed at all.

Edit: come across as sour grapes here, not having a go at all. I'm sure it was fine.

I'm there on the 17th; hoping for similar conditions :) Looks like there were a lot of budding Tiff Needel's who ran out of talent..... :shock:

Bedford is a great venue to push your car, however I do agree with DamianW about the close proximaty of some of the cars ..... seeing someone spin right in front of you having just let them through isn't fun at all.

That said, it looks like you had a great day and I look forward to having the chance to join you someday .... all I'm currently missing is the NSX!

the day was just brilliant fun, there was practically not a single corner throughout the whole day through which there wasn't someone sliding or spinning - so everyone was pretty well mannered and uber-tolerant.

it was playtime for all involved really!

best of all - with 100 cars in attendance and the above description, there was not a single incident of car to car contact, or even car to anything hard contact.

few more pics.....

Nice pics, by the state of Ian and steven's cars on Sunday, you all had a great time, and now need new brake pads all round.

What's the story with the shopping Audi :lol:

Judging by the twin interior mirrors I'd suggest the Audi is a track car on a demo lap?

Dont forget, Jonathan has a long standing association with Audi...

Seen some of the pictures on the VX220 forum. Looks like fun. Unfortunately with having Kumho Ecstas on the NSX wet trackdays are a no-no at the moment.
