Recent trip to Bedford

[alias23]

Thought i'd post a few pics from our recent Bedford adventure... In particular I wanted to share the video, its been over 16 months since we had our little boy, and this meant Sarah missed out on track days and getting out in the car and driving it hard. So this was her first time out and on track and I reckon she did bloody good!

Great job ;-) Looks like you guys had lots of fun ... great color on the Exige by the way ... would have almost been my choice as well ...

Funny you say that as I always and still adore the exige in black

matt black ;-) ... looks much better in real than on the pictures ;-) ... I love the Martini Racing Design... and probably would have done that on the white car ... won't be able to do that on the matt black though ;-(

She's rather good, as is the sound with that intake of yours. Your car just sits sooo well on your Nitrons as well. Glad you had a fun day out.

Reminds me I'd better update my thread with my Sport Mode fun video at Snetterton from the Cup's first day out.

Ah you noticed the induction noise

As you know I had my nitrons customised so I could sit the car lower than standard and even lower than Cup, its a personal choice I guess but I like the stance of my cars low. 

Yes your being lazy need to hear about your first outing in the Cup and how it differed to your old v6!

Were you okay on noise at Bedford?

Looks stunning on track, even more so for the lowered ride height.

The missus is driving well too.

I wouldn't let mine drive any car I owned down the drive let alone on track!

Im running standard exhaust with Lotus Motorsport Induction. No problems whatsover with noise limits - Spent most of the afternoon with exhaust open and all traction turned off. Didn't get any warnings from the marshals so happy to report Bedford is safe for the v6.

Thanks NathR it took a lot of time getting the right setup with Nitron but soo worth it in my opinion the v6 is crying out to be lowered and take the proper sports car stance it deserves. Its funny but when I got the car back lowered everyone has commented on how good it looks. Cant recommend it enough however if I was to do it again i'd probably look to stump up the extra cash for the Ohlin setup from Komotec/Hangar111.

In terms of the missus, she's been my partner in crime on track for over 7 years, raced M3 CSLs, GTRs, GT3s and now the Exige. She's actually quite fast and generally gets praise from the instructors as 'the one that listens' hence she's generally faster than me!

Sounds good. My exhaust and induction are standard so it should be fine. I fancy having a go at Bedford prior to my Spa trip in June as it's been a couple of years since I last did a track day.

You will be fine. Did a day there last November and I'm going back in a couple of weeks time for the first one of 2016.
