OV53 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Alreet! Setting off tonight to stay over in S****horpe before the first track day of the year. The season has started!!!! Got a lend of a GoPro this time round too so you guys can get an idea of my mad skills! Anyways if anyone is kicking about the Hull/S****horpe/Blyton area tonight/tomorrow then keep an eye out for the blue flash with the Nismo kit and Amuse soundtrack!

cmck13 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'd be interested to see what you think of Blyton Park I have tracked at Cadwell Park and Donington and I intend to do this one this summer if we get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 My mate does Cadwell and Blyton regularly like and he bigs Blyton up so I can't wait to see what the fuss is about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Is it going to be on the new track layout do you know? I enjoyed Blyton when I was there, no barriers to worry about so you can push a little more than at somewhere like Cadwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not sure mate, I'll be setting quick lap times in the afternoon I reckon. Just hope the weather decides to sort itself out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The season has started?!? pssssh, we never stopped, we've done trackday number three already this year! wasn't a huge fan of the new blyton to be honest... too tight and twisty for a high powered car in my opinion, better suited to something like a caterham. true there is little to hit, but some of the curbs on the exit of corners are rather high for no reason I can see. would much rather donington or cadwell, more satisfying when you string a good lap together.

You've been lucky with the weather I'm guessing! Nah in fairness my car hasn't been ready to go out, getting some long overdue issues sorted today. It will be problem free motoring from tomorrow onwards, until the next one anyways! Just glad to get some track time booked after 3 months off!

OV53 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Based in Sunderland but we've got a few planned this year, had the car since June and only did Elvington in November last year. The car wasn't trackable when I got it. It's near perfect now though so game on! I think we may be doing Cadwell next then Croft if I can get the Benjamins! We may get one more in before Japfest but the car is in for a full respray between now and then so we'll just see how it goes. Would be cool to get on some trackdays with some other zeds, sick of torturing Porsches and Beemers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Ah sorry can't help you then, we've got a Beemer as well for track duties! We're hoping to do cadwell and croft in the summer with javelin, hopefully see you there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liking the addition of your wing stickers lol Ha, you did, did you? Was it up in the air at the time? What did you think? I'm back down Falcon next Saturday as there are a couple of pains in my backside that need sorting out, I may as well just tell my company to just pay my entire wage directly to Lee!

OV53 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 A video of the first session after lunch, by no means my quickest run but I was getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDON Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 is there an APP for phones that can monitor your laptimes via satellite or something so when you get back in the pits you can check your results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm not sure, that would be cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 looks like some nice smooth driving - what did you think of blyton? have to say, your exhaust sounds absolutely awesome i want it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I liked it, very narrow so you have to get your lines right. I almost span out on my first run out because I entered a bend too shallow and didn't have enough track to power out. I put more lock on to try to keep it from running off and lost the backside, managed to correct it enough to run off the opposite side slowly.......before returning to the pits to check my kecks! Other than that it was an excellent day! Javelin run a tight ship and are extremely approachable with any issues you have (I exercised this when some berk in an E36 328i wouldn't yield for over a lap and a half) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) have to say, your exhaust sounds absolutely awesome i want it! Oh and cheers man! I'll give you dibs when the time comes to sell it. Edited March 30, 2014 by OV53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
