You may be a natural and can lap quicker than some tit who cant drive in an M3! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluminusbutterfly Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 i'll probably do cadwell again like last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge- Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was lapped buy an old guy, must have been 60 in an E46 M3 to start, and buy a guy with ONE ARM in a Clubsport. Until tyres warmed up and I lapped them all. I'd love to go again, but I think my next track outing will be with the MX5 at the 'Ring. These are perfect though if you've never been on before. At Bedford it was dead relaxed, nobody was stressing or driving like d**ks really, everyone was friendly. Only like 25 cars I think so you can chat to most people there.

El Turko Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Having never done a trackday before i could well be up for this. Fingers crossed the car comes back from Le Mans in one piece! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluminusbutterfly Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) also with the bmw trackdays one of the organisers is a trained instructor and will come out with you for free to help you get your lines right, jorge if your going to the ring try if at all possible to do a last minute booking on a day which is dry, i was there last summer in the tvr in the wet and i was spinning it up in 5th along the start finish straight, and dad almost put it backwards into the railings about 3 times in the first lap, closest time stopping 50mm off the railings!
