It would be great to see some Mini's attending Bedford Autodrome on Saturday 15th December for an open pit lane track day.

Track time begins at 9am and finishes at 4pm and the whole day is only £119. For those of you that haven't tried Bedford its a must do experience... the run off areas are massive so you can find the limit without the worry of hitting anything.

Confirmed so far are:

GT4 Baz
BigShow

Maybe's:

1320
BRM Cooper

I did Bedford in 2000 on a corporate day, most damage was a wet car when someone came off and went in their "pond" , for a moment we had a two tone golf gti on the firm !

You have to be booked in as either a driver or passenger mate, its 25 squid to come as a passenger but the beauty is that you can go out in anyone's car for laps which means you can try some great cars on the day just by making a few new friends, you'll certainly be welcome in the passenger seat of the cars I know.

Tara&Paul · Dec 2nd, 2007, 03:30 PM

We're there! Just booked in! Never done a track day before, so really looking forward to it!!!

BigShow300 · Dec 3rd, 2007, 08:19 AM

Yay! Another Mini... congrats on choosing Bedford as your first, a very wise choice as the run off areas are massive so you have no worries about hitting anything in case you do have an off, which you won't. Below is a great vid of a guy taking what I think are the perfect lines round Bedford (no its not me

)

YouTube - Fast Lap at Bedford Autodrome

And for those of you that always here me ranting on about why I think Bedford is the best track in the country to take your own car on, check out this video of Castle Combe:

Does that mean there could be 40 questions on Bedford Autodrome at the next pub meeting

Good to see you're booked in, It'll be nice to have an JCW R56 there hooning it round.

Unfortunatley I'm in the same boat as you and never done a track day, did you book an instructor as well?

We're going to have to be a bit sneaky sneaky to get the performance box set up as they really don't like any lap timing. 2min 46 sounds like a good challenge
