Default Jan 19 - Lotus trackday at Bedford Autodrome
Yesterday I went on my first track day, well first if you discount several Nurburgring trips, on the Bedford Autodrome GT Circuit. It was organised by the track day club 'Lotus-On-Track', although it wasn't exclusively for Lotuses. The day started wet, and apart from a short spell when the rain stopped around lunchtime, it just got wetter as the day went on. The track was very slippery with lots of standing water, and often poor visibility due to spray. Here are a few of the photos I took when not driving, and below them a video.

























And here is mine parked up in-between runs.



And finally the video...

For these I used a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 70-200 F/2.8 lens.
