Bedford GT today!
 
Well a beautiful day today at Bedford - sun was out and rain stayed away.

I managed to get thru the whole day with the SS Race Back Box on without one noise issue :thumbs:, or even a warning. I short shifted in the morning and in the afternoon i tried to keep away from the meters a bit.

good to see DuncanR in the morning (car-less :bigcry:) and also 3Wheels3 and PhilJ. Just our 3 CSLs there but a few E46 M3s were also around.

Just been looking thru the data and looking GOOD! :whistle:

BRING ON SNETT :smokin:

Was a great day!
Shim, be interesting to see the results of your improvements after Snetterton.

Cheers
Phil

I almost touched the black stuff, must remember to keep it straighter next time!

I reckon I dropped +1.5secs in the kink allowing for shimmy's car being bit quicker. I think your right about your 265 up front + weight saving make it good on brakes/turn in. I think you've still got a bit on couple of corners but great drive...you didn't let shedwards drive did you??? ha ha ha

I really think the lighter Volks/265 up front were abig difference. My ideal theoretical lap made ip of only the last two runs was 2m 40.8 and teo particular corners were faster

Just watching again - the way the Intrax deal with those curbs at 91mph is incredible.

PS, lol @ the 1:30 antics, you do know that you are supposed to stay on the track don't you? ;)

Serious question. Where a circuit doesn't prevent is it acceptable to either miss the corner entirely and/or be on wrong side of kerb totally? I'm not sure of answer as in a race they would probably but can't help feeling your actually losing some of skill/experience of circuit.

Mainly thinking raidilon corner 5. Yes you get better time but you're also avoiding a tricky part of track :smt102 Personally I'm thinking take as much kerb as possible but at least two wheels on the track

PS Hadn't seen your post Mr Shimmy, oops. I hear your point and can't really argue but nevertherless, are you missing out?
