Cheap/late track day deal...

Postby adithorp » Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:07 pm

I've just booked for this at the new Blyton circuit...

Late notice as it's this coming Sunday but only £99. The circuit only opened as a new track this year as opposed to being just an airfield. Anybody else fancy it. I've got a set of rears that need finishing off!

At Oulton last week it was interesting to see him get in the driving seat of an Elise I'd been overtaking all day and give the owner a demo'. He came past me like I was stood still. I kept him in sight for a lap(just) and hardly saw him touch the brakes the whole way. I couldn't have done two laps at that pace without an off.

It's a nice little track. They've laid new tarmac track with proper curves over the ovd concrete runways (WW2 bomber base) which means there's lots of hard run off if you get it wrong in most places. It's a bit like Llandow but bigger and with enough quirks to keep you ocupied.
