Bedford is low because it’s not classed as an actual race track. 
 

MSVs website indicates 101dba static and 87dba drive by @ 20m.

ahh not good will have to test mine to see what it’s static is then, I suspect more than 101 with a carnewal... 😬

theres a decibel meter app for phones I think isn’t there?  Should probably measure mine too.  
 

I only just scraped through when I had the Carnewal on mine, that was at Hethel

I normally hit 99 or 100db at Goodwood with my Carnewal set up, so should scrape in.

I did Bedford with a carnewal fitted without any issues. 

 

Brilliant track, it has some really fast corners.

I like Bedford - it’s a nice long lap with an interesting mix of corners to test a cars agility and a drivers ability, and 2 great straights to totally nail it on, and plenty of safe run-off over grass if you spoon it. 
 

I think it’s only downside is it’s flatness, if it had some elevation changes I think it would be a perfect track. 
 

but nonetheless, it’s my closest and cheapest (eg winter open pit Lane days for £109) with lots of dates (usually) and always seems to pull a good crowd and some interesting cars and I’ve always come away with a smile at the end of a day there. 🏎🤪👍🏻

Yeah, it is a fairly flat circuit. Great fun none the less. It is the only circuit that I nearly ran out of petrol on actually, I was totally caught up in the moment and forgot about the go go juice.

 

Here is some Bedford supercharged porn:

Wow that vx220 rides so flat through every corner and you can just Chuck it in, it’s so light and nimble. I’d love to experience driving one on a track - always liked the and concept of them. 
 

watching that has just made me reassess some of my lines on Bedford - thanks Pete 😉👍🏻
 

what gopro software do you use?

 

as a newbie to GoPro I’m finding that my file sizes are huge - like 5mins is GB, not MB! 🤔🤨

The VX was epic, I still miss it. The handling of a lotus,  the power of a rocket ship. No abs or traction  control, just complete madness. 

 

I still use my trusty go pro 2 with the biggest memory card it will hold.  

 

Not sure on software,  I use a basic video resizer that I downloaded from the Microsoft store for free.
