I know the circuit fairly well.

now thats fightin' talk

[Jim_Cross]

I would be interested in some instruction as well if the price was right. I could do a latish session tho because I know the circuit fairly well.

Ryder - any chance I could grab a passenger ride with you right at the start?
Think I'd be more confident having seen the circuit first before going out myself, and it would be good to be shown around by someone who already knows the lines.
Feel free to say no though...won't be offended

Jim, I know my way around Bedford and will be happy to take out/go out with anyone to show them the lines.

Thanks Partridge, that would be great

[theturbs]

I imagine that there will be a lot of passenger rides going on the 30th - promises to be good fun

[P11 COV]

frikkin hell - its full now! the last 50 places are taken up by "non-web bookings" I hope its not a load of twats in hire cars


P11 COV (aka Pauljoecoe) - you seem to have 1 place booked and 3 reserved?? Is that right?? If not, before you cancel them, perhaps some people on here might want to take them?

...... Actually, looking at it, everyone at the bottom is now on the reserve list inc Pley, EJM, VXdave, AndyP and P11's 3 places!! WTF??

Sorry - not seen this. I don't know how those 3 reserved bookings got there and I cant seem to get rid of them.

I know what - I'll sell them to the highest bidder.!!!!

Actually would have thought if I don't pay for them they'll go to some one else anyway surely

Said I knew it, not that I was any good at it.

Sorry, only just seen this, No probs for anyone who wants to PAX, my lines are a little different to partridges i.e usually pointing the right way round bends etc

Not getting scared are we?

I might be wrong but it's looking like my bog standard NA will be the slowest car on the track ...

[Foxy]

Don't worry, it will at least be faster than 10 elises and an RX8

Only on the straight bits (but they are quite long)

To the owners of the above, please locate and be ready to use your right hand indicator.

IIRC didnt the RX8 lap the top gear track faster than the VXT??

Utter, utter shite

Yeah, the straight bits will kill me, particulary the 1km start/finish.

Looking forward to seeing how I can muscle it thru the corners tho after the 1stlotus day

Have to try and get myself mixed up with the elises and the RX8, should be a good laugh

[cheeky_chops]

overtaking in the braking zone and corners is a big no-no Northern - at best you will be kicked off the circuit, at worst you will hit someone.

Use the VX's speed and you !st lotus training thru bends to get a jump on lardy barges

Thanks for the advance warning CC

This will be my first trackday so all advice is appreciated.
Foxy has promised to give me the lowdown on track etiquette too once we get there, unless he's forgot

[cheeky_chops]

This will be my first trackday so all advice is appreciated.

ahh, cool All overtaking is "meant" to be by consent ie the person indicates right and you go past - minimises silly, expensive incidents.... You get a full briefing anyway, but any questions, worries or want to come out for a ride 1st, just ask an old hand... Like Partridge

Just dont follow him around the circuit

PS dont forget your license
