I took the Turbo around Bedford autodrome last Friday Evening
there where 25 cars there and I think I did ok - I kept up with a few GT3s
It was obviously a lot heavier than the RS so I had to adjust the Braking points
I also could not get on the power as quick as the RS due to the understeer
I had the PSM off and the Aircon off - I also had to adjust the preesures as they went off the scale
My missus said I was doing 2.54 which is not bad

I only did 2-3 laps at a time ,with a lap cooling down
I suggest anyone who owns one of these cars to go to bedford - the run offs are huge and you learn
to see how these cars handle at the absolute limit ( I was doing 4 wheels powerslides ) you cant do that on the
road !!!!!!!!

The next Bedford evening is June 9th

Glad to see you gave the GT3's something to think about !

What is the noise limit at Bedford. I was thinking of going but have a sports exhaust so not sure if they will allow me.

Jon,
It is 87db drive by -- you should be ok..... there was 3 Manthay converted cars there with upgraded exhausts
they had not problem
If you do trigger the noise limiters they tell you to short shift

Ahem.....

I had a problem Tim, i got pulled early on for noise, and by the way the drive by is
87.5db.

They moved one of the microphones, so once i knew where it was, i managed to blag my way out again, and stay fairly quiet by lifting off past them.[:eek:]

Good to meat you mate, that Turbo of yours looks pretty new ??, i bet the tyres took a hammering, like the wheel colour comb.

I took my turbo round there last year, and i could really notice the weight difference.

And yes, you were going well in it, made me and Russell brake nice and late for the Chicane to get past you[;)]

Oh yes, Was it your birthday Friday ?? if so Hope you had a wet one !!!

Glenn,

Good meeting you - Im getting old now 42
I checked both brakes and tyres and everything seemed ok
I think It helps cooling the car done


Are you going to SPA on the 24th /25th May ? - we might stay for a few
more days to see the Euopean GP at the Ring

Your car looks and goes well !!!!

Howdy all,
Great to hear that some of you are going to the ring and then on to spa.
A few of us from Ireland are headin to the ring saturday evening and sunday, then headin off to Spa 24 / 25th.
we are going in a GTSRS, 993 TURBO AND 968CS., , look out for a bunch of irish ejits with grins on their faces, that will be us. !

By the way, I know the 24th is booked out, however a good mate of mine was booked in , (ticket to spa paid for) has had to shy off as he got some bad news lately and his Spa entry for the 24th may be available.............any interest.
