Why do you say that Steve?

I was talking to a lotus owner and Jez at BoT last month about trackday liability , and his elise was T boned there by an idiot driver that the marshalls did nothing about all day despite numerous complaints.

That's the only infamous accident (AM driver driving like a cnut all day until that) that has been at Bedford. Safety record is as good or better there than at any other circuit in the UK.

I went once and the day was ended early by this Nissan taking out the pitlane barrier...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing to worry about on the whole though.

You lot are a bunch of doom and gloom merchants arent you! I thought Bedford was always raved about as a safe circuit.

 

Anyway, ignore that lot and add your name to the list

I totally agree Martin, however I did have my one and only minor shunt there with a Fiat Punto. It was my first trackday I think. And I also witnessed a roll over along the pit lane once.

 

Pity I can't make this due to a holiday. Mind you the last time I went I was sent home after 20 mins for noise. I'm not sure my Tullet is as quiet as it should be now either so it could be asking for trouble.

Bring the NA!

Theres a lot more knowledge about db reducers now and think we all have to have something like that as all tracks are getting heavier on noise limits now.

 

If I can pass Bedford (fingers crossed) pretty sure I'll be ok anywhere now whereas I was failing 105db drive by a short while ago.

Seem to remember, years back, a Noble spinning off at the beginning of the pit straight followed by a VX spinning out in the same place and taking out the Noble ... Apart from that I always found it very safe.

I think there was a few VX'ers present the day someone parked it backward in the pitlane exit , inches away from a car going out.

Happy days!

Stop coming up with tales of woe and sign up. If we listed places where there had been offs we'd never go anywhere.
