Finally got the Nova on track after owning it 3 years lol.

The misses bought me the trackday at Bedford Autodrome as a present for my birthday and it was a great day! Even if it was one of the hottest days of the year the car performed very well and I covered about 120 miles throughout the day without any issues

My mate came along in his 205 gti so we had some a few fun battles although he was much more confident in his after doing about 7 previous trackdays in the car!

Ive deffinalty got the bug now and will be booking another one for August and September. Im going to go to the same circuit because its 10 mins from my house and its a great track to learn on! Next year I might venture to some tracks further afield but just want to get used to the car.

Some pictures from the day below and all pictures here: http://public.fotki.com/M4rks/my-nova-track-car/bedford-autodrome-t/

Looks good. What was the atmosphere like? Are the BM and Porker boys a bit snobby?

We kept spanking a gt3rs last time I was at Bedford,

He came over and was asking so many questions to why a corsa was so quick,

Went down a treat, always depends on who's there.

I wouldn't mind taking my C to one, once I've got some decent tyres, but worry they might not like it.

Cheers guys!!

Vrsturbo - The wheels on the pug are 16s, he does have some 15s with slicks on but they are nackered so just ran those on the day

Gidged500 - Im giving Trax a miss this year, hopeing to do a trackday the day after so decided on that instead

Corsadonk - The atmosphere was good, I got a passenger ride in the white porsche turbo in the pics and that was very impressive and the bloke was sound!
