2:39 bloody hell…you must have had a super good lap at some point, I thought I was doing alright hanging on for dear life and only managed a 2:50 according to Harry's Laptimer

Great day though thoroughly enjoyed our little play and just a good day in general very lucky with the weather

Glad I put the cups on shimmy

He must have pressed the NOS later in the day Graham, when I left he was struggling to keep up with you.

Sam was doing well once I had showed him which way round it went

Kept braking early but good control and the car is mint. Tbh if he didn't do 2.39, he fooling should have

I'm working on it mate, but weather is so unpredictable around that time of year.......but now i've got a selection of rims and tyres, (although no studded yet ) I may just do it!

RELAX Buddy, just playing with The Shimster......When he told me his best time, I thought i'd get reasonably close, even on my first visit.....NOWHERE FECKIN NEAR as it turns out....just under 2.49 for me

on Sy's stopwatch it was 2.29


I'd heard some pretty poor reports about Bedford (flat and boring), but i found it really good, technical in places, with balls of steel required to find the right braking points (back straight into the chicane for one).....I can see how it could become boring, but i'll defo be going back to Smash Shimmys best time

[shimmy]

Phew!

I really like Bedford, just a little featureless.

You need to straight line some chicanes to beat that time

Jeeeez thats the best back handed compliment i've ever had, thanks mate

GoPro ran out of charge by mid afternoon, so got nothing to back it up, but i think i was getting closer mate, I reckon a 2.41/2.42 on next visit.....especially if i do it 3 times before i officially do it again like someone on here does at Spa

There are 6 corners you need to cut and give it Billy big balls. Think I managed 3m 40secs in the van
