Bedford sW today with Opentrack

**shimmy** · 16-04-2014, 11:40 PM

Did a last minute trip up to Bedford today for an evening trAckday on the South West circuit. Was meant the joined by Billy but looks like he's gonna be busy for a few weeks

Anyway, car needed a shake down with the refurbed brakes and Intrax so a perfect cheap evening and great weather.

Saw Lee there (he met us on the tunnel in SG CSL on way to Munich). Also a couple of 911 Turbo, 911 GT3, scoobies, Lotus......all good target practice. I think the oly car there possibly up to the job against the CSL today was the new Lotus (the bigger one) but unfortunately as soon as he saw me in his mirrors he went into race mode then forgot to turn and missed the SW circuit and carried on the GT circuit at 120mph

Car was ok, brakes are a little soft and the rear was not as planted as usual so a little work to do.

I had deviously been there back in 2007 with a 2m 07 whilst fighting with a few porsches, this ime managed a 2m 01 so a decent improvement.

Have you not noticed this before when you loom in peoples rear view mirrors Shim? It's a sight to scare most.

Unsettled back... ride height adjustment? I take it you ran the usual damper settings?

Dampers have been redone so maybe I need to revise my settings
