Trackday: Bedford Monday 17th Feb


370Ad

Recommended Posts

£38 for a twin room with my mate (He signed on too with his 135i).

 

So £19 to not have to leave at 5AM. Seems legit.

 

Plus it's only 7 miles from the circuit.

 

We caved in....staying at the Bedford Wyboston Travelodge as it had a little chef next door :D

Well the day was a success all round, the weather stayed dry and there was a great crowd :D

 

The Z's held there own against much lighter track machines, hopefully have some videos soon!

Bit of camber adjustment midday after a loose bolt caused some 'interesting' handling :dry:

Oil wasnt too bad after the ecu adapted to the driving style! Was soo soo bad to start though! I must say that rx8-r3 is and absolute rocket!

Great day by all accounts to be fair, the whole set up was great, well done MSV.

 

Bedford is a fun, fast circuit, I loved it.

 

Hit it a little too hard Sunday night mind so was a bit jaded, always the way isn't it.

 

I managed 6.6mpg on track that day, flew through fuel like I wasn't expecting, that was the biggest downer for me on the day.

 

All my GoPro footage is rubbish as I forgot to line up the camera and all you can see is the cabin, skyline and me, lol.

 

Got a cool vid from my mates helmet cam, who was following me, then got past, then overheated the oil on his 135i and it went into limp mode, rather funny watching it happen, lol.

 

My oil temp soared high often mind, in the end I was lifting on the straights trying to keep it cool so I could stay out for longer, had to settle for 3/4 laps and come in to keep things at a safe temp (125/30) and fuel usage down.

 

Great to meet you guys;

 

350Ad - I should have really let you have a go in the 70 as you're thinking about getting one, just didn't occur to me, sorry man.

 

JB-UK - Nothing like a bit of negative camber mate, just not 8 degrees, lol.

 

My only pic from the day......
