where can we use to time our cars for a feature

[Guest Enzo]

trying to organise a feature with a magazine, should be pretty good, we have the timing equipement and bullet cams,

the only problem im having is trying to find some place decent enough to get say 0-120 that does not cost the earth to rent,

can anyone recomend any decent venues or suggestions on where we could do this?

bedford autodrome?

[StarletRick]

[RobSR]

Maybe talk plans motorsport, they use the runway that topgear also uses, may be worth a try?

[Tintin_SR]

M74???? ;)

[Rich]

Motoways generally too bumpy, need sumwhere where our tax money does go...

[Tintin_SR]

haha na there is a new bit up the road that is flat as fook

[Idrees]

York Raceway is totally crap - not recommended!

[StarletRick]

brunters innit.

[scutch0]

as geo remembers brunters was a shit surface for lauching...

it was ace ragging round the track after a blast down the straight tho!

the mrs was shitting it when i was slipstreaming geo on the back straight!! ;)

[Sparky]

Im up for this one!!

Have you spoke to Banzai Geo?

Not sure on any locations tbh

[Liam_D]

Brunters FTW!!!!

[Guest Enzo]

Maybe talk plans motorsport, they use the runway that topgear also uses, may be worth a try?

@ spraky yea ive spoken to joe about it,

ive tried burntingthrope, santa pod, crail and bedford autodrome and got scary quotes back from the lot of them

They may be able to help you to talk to the right person.

[Starletraje]

apparently the place top gear use has a 70mph restriction and no overtaking

[StarletRick]

why not just go to pod on a quiet rwyb day?

when weve gone on quiet days, you literally get up the strip every 10 mins.

[scutch0]

i agree, ive never ran up pod, but ive been there on a quiet rwyb, and it must have been about a 15 min wait.

obviously theres no way of knowing before you go tho.

[StarletRick]

as long as there isnt any "event" itll be ok

[Guest Enzo]

i was thinking the same last night, do any of you guys who stay closer know any quete dates for the rwyb events, like later on in the year?

[RobSR]

well me and si went to a jap only rwyb @ the pod called Tesuto, and there was about 3 Skylines (which we testing for the HKS DS so they only ran a few times), 1 RX7, 1 Civic, and us, so about 6 cars ;) fully preped track, but it was £60 quid...
