MSV organised trackday at Bedford Autodrome on the GT configuration, incredible weather for mid-November, fantastic day, no red flags !
More video to follow of many Atoms on track, I think at 6 this is the most Atoms 4's that have been to a non-dedicated trackday, everything from a regular 320 through to a Full Aero Sequential 350.
Brilliant day, car was fautless throughout, drove to track, did 2.5 hours on track and drove home.
This is my quickest lap of the day, (with passenger) managed to knock a massive 6 seconds off my previous best lap, same car, older tyres and pads.
As pointed out, I may be slightly outside track limits, I was however using all the track I paid for.
Theoretical best lap was a 02:37.74, was to hard to avoidy traffic to get near this.
Stats from racebox mini
Top Speed - 146 mph
Max Accel - 1.20 G
Max Corner - 1.52 G
Chasing a sequential Atom 350 helped me improve lines (thanks Tom), used more of the track and maintained a higher average speed. Stickier tyres and race pads you can take another 3 seconds off this time.
No problems with noise either static or trackside. 97db static with normal (non-sports) exhaust.
Laps timed via racebox mini, 25Hz GPS accuracy, brilliant little box and IOS app.
