Is it the full GT circuit you're going on? You'll easily get through tank for fuel the day. I got through a tank and a half. Be aware that bedford is a brake eater as there are a couple of long straights with some tightish corners at the end so make sure you have sufficient pad.


Better check where the local petrol station is then!

I dont have no video, only what i got on the digital. but will take plenty.

The rules say no in car camara/video, but im hopeing its ok for my passenger to take shots on the move??


Don't know the ins and outs of Farmer Palmer's rules, but passengers carrying hand held video cameras is a big no, no because in an accident the camera could end up in your face. If the rules say no in car camera, they definately won't allow you to do this. Depends how strictly the rules are enforced i guess. I would say though having a friened holding a camera is not safe.

There's 98 ron petrol on site for 99p per litre, and no, handheld cameras are not allowed.

But you don't get automatically black flagged for spinning either.

I remember him! it was on my last run of the day. He was really shifting.

After me, he went past that Testarosa i meantioned.

I thought the noble held him up more on the previous lap!?! lol

(Shame the camara dint show me hassling him for the rest of the lap :^o :^o :whistle: :eye: :clown: )

Nice pics, will get mine up when i find the cable to load to PC.....

Yeah, i thought it was quite a nice layout. Some of the sections were a bit dull but overall a nice layout.

Most importantly nothing to hit. Anywhere. Fantastic.
