***TRACKDAY EVENING*** Bedford Friday 28 Aug

[Casey]

*****BUMP/UPDATE*****

24 llaces now taken according to the MazdaonTrack website, so if you\'re up for this superb trackday, get your skates on, or the places may all have gone!

This is a great track for those whose hesitated to "do" a trackday before and never got around to it. Bedford Autodrome has huge run-off areas and very little to hit, in the highly unlikely event you get over-enthusiastic :o That, coupled with the fact this is being organised via the "Mazda On Track" team, means the evening will have more of a club feel and better track etiquette than your avaerage "public" trackday.

If anyone wants to book this I have a discount code to use on the Mazdaontrack website. This will give us a cost of £105, saving £15. Let me know if you need to discount code.

PLUS, FULL MRC members (not guests) can claim £15 back from the club towards the cost of this event, making the total cost just £90!!

To confirm, this is a Friday evening event, so as long as you can arrive by 4.20pm to sign on, you\'re good to go. If you are fairly local, that\'s only a few hours off work....

well i went all the way to re worx today and rolling road computer died just after i got there so no mapping for me,  Geff and Max said it was too fast to map on the road after 20 minutes out in it.  I am booked for the day after this track day so i wont be able to make it, sorry guys but i dont want to risk  it.

[Casey]

Tony, sorry we won\'t see you at Bedford, but I can understand you not wanting to risk it!

Hope to see you at another trackday soon :cheers

[HypoThermia]

I\'ll be along as well, bringing camcorder, camera, and passenger seat warmer :cool

Most definitely, i have some catching up to do!

the car would probably be fine but they couldnt get into 4th gear due to the very low gearing, it has a final drive diff ratio of 3.09 on an RX7 gearbox, (at 6900 rpm in 5th it would be doing 235 mph )

When it blew at Cadwell it was the first time i had managed to get into 4th gear going flatout,  1st 2nd and 3rd will be fine, they managed to check the Afr\'s but couldnt check 4th, so its fine to squirt it around in the lower gears but iirc Bedford has some fast bits.

its fine to squirt it around in the lower gears but iirc Bedford has some fast bits.

You\'re right, we\'ve got the "South" and "West" circuit combination for the evening, and that\'s got one very long straight where your beast would be able to get up into 4th. I\'m sure you\'d rather be sure than risk a "Cadwell" incident!

Whats the noise limit ?

[Casey]

Dave

I found this statement about noise limits at Bedford;

"The noise limits at Bedford Autodrome will remain unchanged at 101dB(A) static (measured 0.5m from the exhaust at a 45’ angle at ¾ maximum revs) and 87.5 dB(A) drive-by at 20 metres."

Apparently, they can be very quite strict, and if a car fails a drive-by, it\'s black flagged and that\'s it, no opportunity given to quieten in any way. I\'m told they have two mics positioned "flat-out" points around the circuit, so monitor twice every lap.

That\'s tighter than Cadwell, operated by the same organistaion, who only required a static test of less than 105dB(A), with no drive-by monitoring. None of the 7\'s there had any problem, most tested less than 100dB(A).

Hope your exhaust isn\'t a noisy one!

[Red and Single]

Should pass the static no problem.... drive by we\'ll just have to wait and see !!

What a FANTASTIC evening !!

Spent 2 hours on track tonight, 70l of fuel, 115 miles of track abuse.

I love my car.

That circuit was sooooo great, was really getting in the groove, I want a whole day there soon.

Driving standards were very good, staff very friendly and lenient ( I failed the driveby noise test by 2.5 Db and I was lifting off !! )
