Just know the Bedford drive by policy is no second chances if you set off the mics by the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich 378 Report post Posted January 12, 2016 Might be worth grabbing a cheapy sound meter (15 quid should get you one) and testing it. 1 AJ124 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Mac 32 Report post Posted January 16, 2016 You'll all have fun at the end of the month... Was at Bedford Autodrome today, VERY cold, icy entrance road on arrival, but sunny and dry. The only GT86 there...sad times... but a good mix of cars. Another well run event by Javelin - they did black flag me once (the no drifting policy...) but accepted that I was genuinely trying to keep it tidy.... nothing deliberate (I blame the worn Primacys). I was worried that on the 3.8 mile GT circuit the car would feel under powered - but not at all - could make excellent progress but still enjoy the balance of the car (such an enjoyable chassis to balance as it tries to let go a lot - again maybe the primacys & cold track temp). So cold that my tyres are set to 35psi (always show 35 on a warm day - stationary / not been driven / in the garage) were down at 32 (due to weather) but back up to 37 (& higher) after a few laps. Surprising how much quicker the GT lapped compared to much nicer / more dedicated machinery, really is a good car, don't know how these get slated. Tyres and brakes seemed just about take 4 - laps before noticeably going off. The idea was to give Cath some time as a passenger on track (having missed the opportunity at the Sprints last season). (Speaking of which they said the 2016 TSS dates will be released soon - and will include Anglesey!). I guess the only negative is that Bedford is still quite a "rough" surface and seems to give the tyres a harder time than other circuits (maybe because it's a "corporate entertainment venue" as such). But smiles all round - top day: [url=http://postimg.org/image/9hhq7q9up/full/] [url=http://postimg.org/image/3kig4ni3l/full/] [url=http://postimage.org/] [url=http://postimage.org/] [url=http://postimg.org/image/x7dbo6s1n/full/] [url=http://postimg.org/image/4pmujph1x/full/] 5 faith, Keethos, KevinA and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conti sport 5's do not last long on track! I lost about 4-5mm in a day last year. It was a very warm day which did not help. Good road tyre though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So may be shopping for new tyres afterward, Not sure whether to replace them like for like or go to Conti Sport Contact 5s I asked the guy at javelin whether to stay on my winters or put the primacies back on. he said, if it's wet, stay on the winters otherwise go with the primacies as you will get a lot of heat into them at speed. hopefully it's dry, I've got 5mm left on the primacies so it's an opportunity to wear them sufficiently to need better rubber on for the summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
