It's awesome for that.

A lot of the people have never done it who do these days.

There's also all us hardcore track goers there, the great facilities at Bedford, and not a lot to hit.

It's one of my favourite circuits, although I've not done the full GT circuit, so looking forward to that.

Where does this mis-conception of people in higher groups or with more experience start to "run people off the road" come from ? Heard it quite a few times now.

Load of bollx if you ask me.

Looks good.

But going on what all other track days have has there limit for noise.

Static @ 101db is not bad.

87db @ 20m is bad.

Thats about the same as a standard road car.

Won't be booking the mex as its 95 drive by at doningtion park which the noise meter is on one side of the track and the actual reading is on the other side of the track, maybe not quite 20m but i think there will be a lot of disappointed none refunded people.

Not usually, as it is not there fault as such, i think if you loose a potential booking by booking and failing straight away then you loose your money.

Thought this was the same at all tracks, not just bedford etc.

Not being funny, but your car can pass one day and fail then next, makes a difference on atmosphere and wind direction, that would be more so ar bedford at its very flat.
