Bedford Evening session 13th May

billyboysm3 · 04-05-2016, 05:48 PM

Just booked this today as car didnt feel to good turning in at high speed.

I left intrax on full soft last time out, school boy error.

Looks like SW circuit, never been on this before.

Anyone else up for it?

Billy

Cool, just checked it has half the circuit on which they do the Palmer sport M3 experiences, probably M4 now, so chicane, then the two fast lefts

2m 01s Billy iirc back in about 2012-3 was my best. Done it twice.

Key for you will be the new section after chicane (left-left) as its your first time on those corners and exit onto back straight is important.

Then turns right onto normal track by pits? Seems decent!!

Would be a touch if nice weather.

Yep

You arrive at right handed slower than on full GP so need to brake later (but not too late or you hit tyre wall)

Awesome evening. Only 27 cars.

Spent the time playing with suspension and tyre temps. Figured out what was the best

Got the car handling like its on slicks. Was able to take the chicane on back straight the same, and chicane after the pits can taken the same, ie brake, ride kerb and full throttle round tight left and right then hard stamp on brakes.

Now go for more controlled entry to unleash the power on exit.

The dunlops are insane, nearly so very nearly like a slick.

This is probably the best the car has handled.

Love this track, much better than the gt. Was able to turn in on the south west section And nail it. CAr was moving around but in a controlled manor.

John nice to catch up, that's for the pit crew support. Hope you enjoyed your laps driving it.

Just managed to miss any rain, pretty cold though.
