Bedford Autodrome (First TD in the Cesil)
GT circuit at the Bedford autodrome. Really impressed with the track, tonnes of space, all sorts of corners and a very long straight. The usuals in attendance, GT3, GT-R, Turbo's, Atoms, Caterfields and lots of Renaultsports. Front tyres were on the way out anyway, so now need to figure out what to replace them with. Not sure whether to go Supersports, one issue is the rear PS2's are still fine. I've also got a spare set of rims with winter tyres and a diesel daily runner...so cups ? I previously had an M3 round a track a couple of times and it felt a bit wrong. This felt very right Some vid here (I'm pretty new to TD's so had a mate giving me tips as he used to work there, so please forgive the poor lines...) Looks a little busy, but actually it was empty most of the time, it's just more interesting to watch with other cars in shot. Last edited by 0836whimper; 17-04-2013 at 09:40 AM. |

Car looks great.
Cool, I do have fond memories of Bedford. It's a great track to get closer and closer and past the limits. If you want some lines just check out 27secs in http://youtu.be/yjBZADCv_Vo .

Hello Mark
Great vid mate and really glad to see you are enjoying the CSL. I love Bedford. Get Cup’s its even more fun...and they are good on the road as well, i just take it easy when its really pissing down or really cold. Just out of interest did you have the TC on at Bedford? Cheers Jamie (Easyjet to Innsbruck)

I tried all three, I was esp interested in M track mode as not used it before. As expected with TC on, it kills the power in every corner. With M track it's better, but still couldn't get the power down early enough. Spent most time in M track. If you are a decent driver, Off is the only fast lap option. But as I'm learning the car I tended not to push it too far. I need more experience. Though as Shimmy says, Bedford is a great place to gain it. The brakes were another area of interest. I have OEM and I was expecting them to be worse to be honest. I was often outbraking cars I didn't really expect to. I tended to do one warm up lap, two at pace, and then a warm down. Bedford GT is massive though, so that's a lot of track. And quite hard to drive at a cruise…. |
