Thinking of booking up bedford, only beard a little about it.
Long straight, open circuit...
Did it have garages/electric?
What's bedford like for a track day?

Re: What's bedford like for a track day?
It's great book it and go!
There are garages and power but they electric does trip quite easy if you book with MSVT they normally bring an extra generator so your good. If no limits then you might want to bring a genorator for tyre warmers
They have people there for suspention set up and tyre changed
The track is totally flat and tonnes of run off. Very flowing and a quick track. If your looking for tight hairpins this track is not for you.
Here is one of many vid from earlier in the year at Bedford.

There is a hairpin their rob.
Bedford is a test Circuit and not a Race Circuit. I like it there.
Power wise, if you listen to the briefing it won't trip out. Tyre warmers are fine plugged in, it's when someone plugs a kettle in that the system trips. They do have a larger genny there now on a permanent position to cope, it just doesn't get switched on until after 8.
You can have a lot of fun at Bedford, the corners flow, plenty of overtaking places, safe run off and good sized garages.
It's a place I've visited a few times now and it never gets boring.

Re: What's bedford like for a track day?
I love it!
It doesn't attract a lot of the really stupid fast guys because they don't race there!
As its totally flat, you'll ride it differently....and the apexes are a lot later than you think, esp the left hander onto the 1k back straight.
Prob one of my fav circuits!

If I have to explain, you'll NEVER understand
