Some video from Bedford trackday 9th Feb

Post by Tommy »

Here's some video of the first outing of the 328i Sport in its standard form. Its brake pads were quite worn so we weren't too hard on the brakes at all on this day, but still managed to wear them through. As said before, we were very impressed by the car on the day - largely neutral, easy to catch when the back end slid and quite progressive too. The standard brakes were also impressive - admittedly we weren't stamping on them but they were still getting a good work out and they didn't fade or wobble all day.

The good thing about video is you can see yourself driving when you're not driving - I need to build some more aggreession and speed! I timed our laps throughout the full video and Chris's best lap is about 3 seconds quicker than me.

Chris driving having a good play with an E46 M3 (badly driven I might say!)

Chris also getting good luck and playing with another 328i but this one's a saloon. Watch it roll!

Great little vids, car goes rather well too. Plus I've not done bedford, it looks like a great track, is that the one where they are becoming heavy on the noise levels?.

Bedford is a great track. Lots of run off, super grippy and smooth tarmac and a great mix of corners. It's rather like an oversize kart track! Also it is indeed getting very stringent on noise although our car had no troubles at 84dB static hahahaha
