Track Day - Bedford - JulyOur next trackday is shaping up to be bedford autodrome, GT circuit, on Monday 27th July. Its a bit off at the moment I know but its holiday season and getting diaries to match has been tricky.
Its open pitlane format, £139 + £25 for additional drivers. If anyone is interested then it'd be great to hear from you. We usually get a small discount if we book more than 5 cars, we have 3 already.
Absolutely, the more the merrier.
We are going to book next week, wednesday, so let me know if your all up for it and we'll try and negotiate a little discount. Where would you be travelling from?
That is indeed not a bad trip.
We head up the M1 from Watford, so best meet there. Spoke to the organisers on friday and they confirmed we'd get a small discount for 6 cars, so if your all up for it then drop me a pm with car/driver details and ill get the ball rolling.
At the risk of everyone dropping out
Here's a list of who's VERY serious about going: 1. Poesy - Megane - deffo 2. Ross - Megane - deffo 3. Huss - EVO - deffo 4. Adrian - Exige - ?? 5. Azyman - Scoob - ?? 6. mate - Aston - ?? 7. boss - Audi - ?? 8. Dan - BM - ?? Please add/update any names as required - turning into a nice little meet if we can get a couple more. Gotta confirm by Monday 6th July - will need to leave a deposit, so deffos only by then, thanks.
1. Poesy - Megane - deffo
2. Ross - Megane - deffo 3. Huss - EVO - deffo 4. Adrian - Exige - ?? 5. Azyman - Scoob - deffo 6. Azymans Boss - Aston - deffo 7. Azys Mate Paul - Audi RS4 - deffo 8. Dan - BM - ?? 9.

All has to be paid upfront generally, whether thats passengers or additional drivers.
Bedford are very strict for noise - check their site but i think its around 100db static at 2/3 revs and 87.5db driveby - probably the lowest and strictest levels in the uk. Bedford tends to attract standard cars for this reason, rather than modified ones. They dont give you any chances either - 1 strike and your off - so if you need to quieten the car do it before you get there. A stock wr1 will pass both, if youve got a louder exhaust though youll need a good bung. Stock 997s were right on the limit last time and the organisers were suggesting they dont follow too close!!
I will do some digging and see what mines runs at on the standard setup
is this the same as the rally where it is measured 1m at 45 degrees from the exhaust tip?
get some wire wool stuffed in there....
poesy
couple of questions 1/who do we pay? 2/ when do we pay 3/regarding the noise we spoke to alex and are going up there next friday for sound testing as i think the Skyline will need a bung Regs
Geoff
I usually book it through Huss at Performance Parts Online, his company get us the discount with trackdays.co.uk. He's 100% reliable, a fair few of the wr1oc members have met him at various events, and coming on the day anyway. Ive already dropped the cash of to him as he lives close by, Hatfield.
Ill check with him over the weekend, see what discount we'll get for 7/8 cars and how he wants payment. Ill PM the deffos on monday - will need car regs and driver/pasenger names.
I should be good to go on noise levels, only question is whether Jen is coming too. Did you get a discount?
poesy the bloke with the skyline cant go as his car is way to loud he went for a sound check on friday at bedford
so it will be just the 3 people Regs

When is your car going into RCM Geoff ? Still not heard anything yet !
Always try and get to B from A very Quickly !
Here's the page folks.
http://www.trackdays.co.uk/calendar/cars/ Its bedford autodrome, GT circuit on Monday 27th July. Only offered 5% discount for over 5 cars, which wasnt really worth the hassle tbh. We had a BIG moan!! Anyway we've all booked, so hopefully see you there.
still waiting them to sort out a date they are saying august Regs
Geoff
what time are you planning on getting there? I am going to leave plenty of time just incase I have traffic issues anywhere..
have you lads taken out track day insurance if so where from?
we should be there for about 8/830 Regs
Geoff
TBH ive never bothered for the car - if you read the small print it really is a false economy. Excesses tend to be £1,500 to £2,000, claims are often limited to around £10k. Remember its a fun day NOT a race day and you'll be ok. Always have personnal insurance for me and the misses though. I think she sorts it out through Standard Life.
