Blyton Park 17/07/2011

Took the Westfield around Blyton Park at the weekend.

Just like to say a big thanks to Mike @ apex trackdays - what a top bloke

The only downer on the day was that it absolutely smashed it down on the 100 mile trip home - both myself and the wife got soaked in the Westie!

About Blyton - very challenging course that constantly unsettles the car. Lots of run off which is a good thing as when trying to take Port Froid at 115mph, the car finally said no and I was in a 4 wheel slide heading towards the field that Mike told me later on, had treated to an upsidedown moment! Fortunately, I managed to get the car pointing backwards meaning I could use the brakes!

Looks a good track, a friend of mine was there on that day in his Integra Type R, said there was a few Locosts/Westies blatting it around!

... I'm going keep the original post as it is... Because I've just won pratt of the week award... Really should read the author before replying... You should know my friend went to that track day, as you were the one who booked it with him!

Need to drop by on the next track day, nearly finished now :-)

Ah now in my defence I can't see the pictures of the video in the office, so I was going purely off the text description! Still, woudl have been more helpful to read the name of the person posting ;-)
