I was scared for the car I couldn't believe you didn't hit it, I don't think you could fit a Rizla in the gap you left.

My mission each year is to scare a close friend with those bales, I got @Clio_fool last time so this year it was your turn Dave 😂

 

[MarkCup]

At one point when I was giving it some I got close to one of the haybales and you shat it 😂

I've just been reviewing my footage (which is totally awesome best quality footage and audio I've ever captured on a trackday) and I managed to get two very clear fu*ks out of him.

How did you score?

I can't wait to see my face when you were taking me round. I was expecting a mid engined car to be taken around as smoothly as possible, but you were throwing it around as violently as @Filters in his Civic 😂
Was a right laugh though, thanks once again for taking me out 👍

I made @DavidDave make some weird sexual noises🤣

What was weirder is that he did it on a cooldown lap and he went crosseyed. I think the crotch strap was a tad tight🤔🤣

 

[DaveDreads]

You have the stupidest harnesses i've ever seen, pointlessly complicated.

 

[Crayola]

I manage it perfectly

I struggled like f**king getting into @Daniel's and then they shut the track anyway😭🤣

Didn't you get a lap in at all? I helped as best as I could to get them on you quick

 

[DaveDreads]

Glad I didn't notice your RB hat, i'd have definitely done something to it, like wear it, that would have f*cked you up, you'd still have your undamaged hat but you'd never be wearing it again.

Nah mate, you should have had the butter to hand!🤣🤣🤣

I was at the time, remembering and embracing the fact I still have a pair of balls. But also the harsh realisation that I’m being made to have them removed. Oh and paying for the privilege. Nothing to do with being stuck in a car that’s worth as much as the change in my pocket, with no AC, driven by a man who can only be one step up the evolutionarily ladder from a shaved chimp.

Once again I respond to a quote i didn't make, problem is if you change your name to anything else I won't know who you are.

Look what I have done now to really screw with your head

 

[Filters]

I was surprised how many people said they get motion sickness as a passenger, you could fire me out of a cannon and i'd ask for another go, nothing really scares me in that respect. (except @MarkCup tyre choice)

I'm sure you had a squeaky bum moment when you realised we were going in to port froid/port vite/the esses flat

Kill yourself immediately!

Like f*ck, I was the one that asked why you weren't flat through there, if I can do it in the dog kennel then you have no excuse son, other than never having driven the CTR before, but I didn't think that was good enough excuse for a man that teaches other racing drivers how to be quick.

Because @Yorkshire Pudding was chasing and having to go flat to keep up too

 

[DaveDreads]

Was he on track with us? I never saw him, even when we did two cool down laps to let him catch up, although his car was 20 stone heavier than everyone else's Clio's.

I have to go flat to get the car to go anywhere🥹🤣

How fast was your car again David?🤔🤣

So fast you couldn't even see it.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Gutted I wasn't there to see this 😂

 

[Crayola]

R999 is a great laugh and a lovely bloke, I think he was turned into a prune throughout Saturday and then he topped himself up back to normal bodyweight in beer🤣🤣

 

[DaveDreads]

This weekend really has reminded me how many truly genuine and kind hearted people there are in this club, it's amazing how cheap badly made French tin sheds have created such a massive and amazing community, i've made friends on here I know i'll have for the rest of my life.

Can only echo what everyone else has said already. Massive thanks to everyone and anyone involved in organising this. There's clearly a lot of effort goes into the weekend, and I don't envy you all putting up or taking down stands and marquees in that heat. A f**king tent and chair was bad enough to pack away yesterday morning!

Partly wish I'd went and got a passenger pass to get out in some cars but there wasn't a chance I was pulling on a hoodie and long trousers in that heat whilst nursing a hangover and running on 90 mins of sleep from the night before 😂 Didn't really talk to many folk over the weekend because I spent most of my time at our campsite trying to find any available shade, apart from @Brigsy on Sat night round his van. That thing is incredible, as is the trophy!

Buzzing about winning the 3D printed parts, the GT championship tickets @Filters had donated and a bottle of prosecco in the raffle!

Oh, and who the f**k turned up on the Saturday in a camper van with their dog?! They were camped right near the entrance behind all us, by the orange Ginetta lorries.

Hope the 3D parts fit. If they’re not the right ones for you car let me know and I’ll sort out sending you a different set. I only have designs for ph1 and ph2 though.

Just got home so i’m a bit late, but I’d like to say a massive thanks to all of you that came this year. This goes out to the regular CSF veterans but even more so to the people who after years of thinking about it, went all out this year to come and see what it’s all about.

A great team effort once again by Kirsty, Brian, Rob, Owen, Sunglasses_Ron, Cub, Daniel and James to bring it all together.
I could say the same about all of you, but I want to say a special thanks to @Owen who always puts everyone before himself. Takeaway runs, supermarket runs, being designated driver etc. His selfless dedication from the start to the end of the weekend is a true credit to what a lovely chap he is.

Thanks to @Daniel , @Cub. and @Ol’ Tarby! for additional help this year meaning the Friday setup was the smoothest and least stressful its ever been.

Thanks again to @Filters for arranging Max Coates attendance adding an extra attraction to the event and boosting the great total raised for the charity.

@Sunglasses_Ron, @Gavin.,@Ricardos @GiT you created a great atmosphere on the decks all afternoon and into the evening.

@MarkCup was great to catch up with you again after 11 plus years since my south central days.

@MartinL1993 glad you finally got introduced to @Daniel to prove you exist😂

One thing that I came away from the show realising this year is that so may people mentioned how important it was to them to catch up with old friends, particularly since COVID. It’s clear it’s not just about showing off our French tin cans any more, it’s important to many for social and mental health reasons too. We’re not yet sure if we will be able to return to Blyton next year, and it’s fair to say that as a team it gets harder each year for people to commit the time it takes to organise. But for this reason alone it just has to happen!

 

[Nik]

A couple of apologies I forgot to add!

1. BBQ’s! Sorry if any of you arrived with a car full of meat 🥩 only to discover signs all over the site saying NO BBQs. Blyton apparently made this decision in recent weeks and updated their website but did not notify us of the change. It was as much as a surprise to us when we arrived on site. Having seen the wildfires in the current climate it’s probably a sensible precaution, but sorry if it meant you went hungry or had to make other plans such as visit the cafe……. Which brings me on to apology 2

2. Cafe staff. A lot of you commented that you experienced poor customer service if not down right rudeness from the lady serving in the cafe. We have worked with her every year and while she can understandably get very stressed due to the numbers of people attending we have always managed to maintain a good relationship. This year even us guys running the event chose to go and get lunch from the local supermarket after myself and Kirsty were spoken to very rudely while trying to pre-order several hours in advance and offering to change everything as not to inconvenience her. We will address this with the management to ensure this doesn’t happen again at any future event of ours or quite frankly we will look elsewhere for daytime catering options.

To be possibly the only one to her defence, she held a tab open for us all day and was completely sound with us. When we went to pay she was clearly upset so asked if she was okay, she explained how she'd just had her dog die and had to let another go that day/morning after 19 years.

Let's not forget, the track temps were nout compared to the kitchen temps that day too. Poor old girl was undoubtedly overwhelmed, granted the above doesn't excuse the attitude some folk got.

@Sunglasses_Ron @Ricardos

I've now realised the bloke who I thought was @Ricardos is in fact actually @Ricardos
It's just the @Ricardos who sat opposite us Saturday night is currently sporting a large tash, and didn't look like the original person who I thought was @Ricardos


Issue resolved 👍

Tried it in the Kangoo in 4th, started wheelspinning as the power came in real strong and a bit of poo came out needs a gripper diff

I tended to tap the brake to weight transfer to ensure I got around that bit and didnt become part of the scenery

I have the image set from Katie now, over 2000 pictures and 11gb

We are just working out how to handle them all!

Wetransfer or Flickr?

 

[DaveL485]

Wetransfer or Flickr?

Yeah the actual file transfer is OK, but we are going to reduce the size and watermark them, and make you pay a small donation to the CSF charity for full res/unwatermarked. It cost us £300 so we'd like to see whatever is recovered go to the chosen cause.

These are 10% of original res/size and watermarked and is what will be publically released, just sorting out how full size will work will prob be a quid an image up to a £10 max, which gets you as many full size as you like up to and including the full event package of 2200 images.

 

[DaveDreads]

The year there's two really good photographers shooting the track action and my car's broke and can't even be driven on the roads let alone on track, typical.

Great photos btw.
