[danh90]

Just checked spacers and wheels everything was sound and tight god knows what that knocking was

 

[AndyCUP1054]

All being well. Ill ask nicely

Mikes days are very well organised and very enjoyable. He's a top bloke and a genuine enthusiast with his cars. He doesn't let idiots ruin days for others either.

Sorry for missing this today guys, sounds like a good morning out.

I'd definately be up for a trackday, doing one with Apex in April at Blyton.

How much think ill get on this blyton is the one in Lincolnshire isn't it?

 

[Johnpacey1]

£100 for day, free second driver, free passengers and free tuition. Yes somewhere in Lincolnshire, about hour and half from Meadowhall.

 

[danh90]

Ill have to keep an eye out then won't be able to book till last minute though but if there's places left at beginning of April I'm on it,

Want to do blyton for my first day in the turbo as plenty of run off

 

[Johnpacey1]

Ok mate, be good to see how yours goes now.

 

[danh90]

Should be decent as thought it was very good before certainly was going at oulton

 

[Mike...]

Blyton good for a first time track dayer? Might be up for it if so, first meet too.

 

[bright]

Blyton is near Gainsborough FYI, biggestnplace near it. Between Gainsborough and Scunthorpe.

Haven't been myself, but from what I've heard its pretty good for beginners.

 

[Mike...]

Looks a pretty good circuit for beginners actually, based on the circuit map and a couple of youtube vids.

Any more opinions would be welcome!

Feel my front pads and fluid need sorting though, as well as a service before I can book, so could be tight.

Planning on going to the ring in the summer (as part of a European tour) and am happy to drive it at 50 all the way round but even so don't fancy it being my first on track experience!

 

[Johnpacey1]

You will be fine on ring mate. Probably take more of a hammering around a track then round ring, especially on your first visit. Suppose you need to check your brakes over regardless of use though.

 

[danh90]

IMHO I would do a Trackday or 2 first also I wouldn't go to the ring on standard brakes but like I say my opinion mate

 

[leeds_182]

I've never been but its all dependant on how you drive it as to whether you use standard brakes.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Couldn't make this lads was at Donnington yesterday getting some tyres sorted.

Another vote for Mike @ Apex track days, I've done a few with him and also been spot on. I've emailed him over weekend actually to see what he had in pipeline.

Blyton is ideal for a first track day and a decent little circuit

Just make sure your car is in good nick, ie plenty of meat on tyres and brakes and has oil in it. If your front pads do need changing you may aswel uprate them while you're at it if your planning on doing track days and a trip to the ring. The brake fluid is worth changing while you're at it and it often gets overlooked and is relatively cheap for decent stuff (£15)
