I'm looking to book a day at Bedford on the 17th March through
http://www.easytrack.co.uk, Its an open pit lane,

Seems like a good track to start off with, long run offs, and there are some very nice cars going :-)

I'm going to Cadwell Park on Monday July 16th with easytrack (in my 205GTi). Is a great circuit only rivalled by Oulton Park IMO.

Did this today, The GT circuit. Sunny and dry, had a couple of tuition segments, brill day out, nice cars, a lot of ariel atoms, what are they all about?? :-) 6 or so GT3 RS's, lots of lotus's, a Z4 M coupe, a Z4 Alpina and a couple of CLS's which did sound the nuts and flew around the track

Bedford is a great flat track to play on. compared to Donnington its massive a 5 miles ? for the full circuit. Very well organised with Easytrack.co.uk

Car handled so much better with the new suspension, warped my discs though, so I need to get them swapped, what do you guys recommend? I've just fitted new Pagids all round, and SS hoses with 5.1 fluid, so thought i had it covered:-(

I think I prefer Donnington to Bedford, and will appriciate it more on my next visit, now i've spnt a bit of time with some Instructors.

Bedford is a lot less intense due to the runoffs, and size, and what I would consider with my limited experience, a good starter track to get confidence and learn the lines, but lacks the buzz of Donnington.

Brands is the next Track day for me I think

Sounds like a great day Manty!

So the KW V3 suspension is treating you well!?

Cheers Alex.

The suspension really did itself proud today, I could really push the car, and very little oversteer, though it does take a lot of trial and error to set up, but much much better than OEM equipment.

Spun out once where I powered on too early before I had exited a corner, lack of concentration felt a right prat :-)

Sheesh!! if you think Donington is intense try Cadwell Park or Oulton Park!! Brands is ok but most are the Indy circuit which I found too small, the GP circuit I've never done (but is supposed to be ace), but it always megapricey.

Manty,
am planning to do Brands Hatch GP circuit 16th May/20th June, if you are interested - c_w is right - it is awesome. Do not do Indy circuit - it is only about a third of the fun as the GP circuit.

Cannot book at moment as am doing Catalunya GP circuit on 6th April ( :-P ) and I do not want to lose £300+ on a booking at Brands which I cannot make due to a stupid accident (being pessimistic). But will be booking online (hopefully) on 7th April.

Exactly, showing off and hitting concrete - that's what I am worried about.

Manty,
after all the grief I had getting my RSGTs (albeit very cheaply), I am unbelievably being told the same story on Toyo R888s - on order from Japan - cannot give me a delivery date!!!!
SO, Silverstone next Tuesday out of the window (5th June instead).

But will be doing all the previously mentioned dates the second I get the word (as, when and if I do) and will post straightaway. BTW 6 hr (new batch) thunderkarts enduro Buckmore Park 28 May if your gang is interested; we will be there.
