Hi. I'll be in a 328 Sport. Completely standard at the moment. Am looking forward to seeing how it fairs before the more serious prep begins.

Cool, never done Bedford, and not driven my car on track in anger since i've fitted the cage, seat, harness, poly bushes etc etc, I can see some spins coming!

I'll be in a white 2dr e30 with red cage, say hello if you see me. :D

You'll definitely have some spins! - Bedford has loads of run off - it'd be rude not to.

Nah, I would have done, but my dissertation deadline is March the 10th and I will be in full-on panic/working 24/7 mode as the deadline nears.

I had a great day too. My friend and I were mightily impressed by our new 328. RWD is the only way to go. It may not be as quick round the track as my old STi or Accord Type R but, DAMN, RWD is challenging and sooooooo rewarding when you're getting your drift on! Speaking of which, I notice that's all that Karan does - drift! Is that helped along by a welded diff because I couldn't help but notice you drifting in literally every corner! :cool:

No i think he has a 2way adjustable diff, not sure what lock up he was running. 280 bhp and some very hot eagle f1's probably helped. Even Andy Everett was giving it some open diff hero action in the first few bends :cool:

Im back, car seems to sound a little different after a day of abuse, exhaust is blowing and there is a huge amount of play in the steering in one direction!

Was a great day out, even if my alternator did try and spoil the day 3 mins up the road after leaving at 6:30 in the morning.

Amazingly, I didn't spin! Couple of tank slappers and one scenic route across the grass, that was as exciting as it got!

Anyone got any pics?

Marham next for me and the car will be transformed with a part strip, new coilovers, race seats and brakes. Can't wait to see the difference.
