Title: Anyone done Blyton Park before?
Post by: Hurdy on June 17, 2012, 08:28:47 pm
I'm booked on a trackday there in August and was wondering if anyone had been there before or any advice as not been to this one.

Should be good. Morning is an open pitlane and then afternoon is time trials. :evilgrin:

Not driven it myself but my mate has and he really enjoyed it. He was underwhelmed to start with but soon realised that it was a quite tight and interesting course which made you really think and work hard. He raved about it afterwards and can't wait to get back there. Really hope you enjoy it mate, look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.:D

Yes it is on the Saturday 4th August. I booked it with the Club Polo as I'm a member on there and only cost £79 for the full day. £99 for non-members.

Supposed to be Polo's only, but I'm sure if you fancied it Mike they would squeeze you in. :happy2:

I think TC and SteveP have been there.  :happy2:

Cheers Ian :smiley:     CALLING TC AND THE BOSS MAN!!!!  inputs please!  :party: :popcornsoda:

Blyton is good for the money John, you cant argue with £79 for a track day.  :happy2:

Criticism would be: very narrow and flat, a little boring after awhile and lots of little stones if you venture off the edge of track ( could easy be brushed up )

Good points : lots of run-off for finding the limits, only the 2 chicanes carry some crash danger really.  nice , new smooth surface, nice friendly atmosphere.
All in all great for money, I wouldn't want to be paying £200+ for a full day their.  :happy2:
I have been trying to find another day there that fits in with work, but no successes yet.  :driver:

Thats the one.

My missus wants to come down as well.  Suprised because she sh!t herself at the nurburgring  :grin: :grin: I obviously need to try harder.

VWR/APR have told me my car will be ready by this point, so mine should be a vast improvement.
