TRACKDAY Blyton Park Outer Circuit - ***Saturday 8th October*** - Members £140 (Non-Members £160)

[GreySilver Beast]

***2022 Annual Meet / Blyton Park Outer Circuit***

Blyton Park Driving Centre is located approximately five miles North of Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. Like many race tracks used for track days in this country, it started life as an RAF base in 1942, with three concrete runways and a large range of hangers, bomb stores and accommodation buildings. It closed in 1954.

Blyton Park is one of our most popular track day venues. Off the track it offers an excellent range of facilities, including: toilets, showers and a new amenities building with briefing rooms, kitchen facility and wi-fi. Click here for more details about Blyton Park, and book your place now on this page before it sells out.

The Blyton Park circuit is not a race track. It was specifically designed and laid out as a test and trackday venue. This means it doesn’t have lots of intimidating “Armco” and tyre walls around the circuit. It has an excellent smooth tarmac surface and, should you try a little too hard there is concrete run-offs on most of the circuit. At other areas you worst you are likely to do is to run off into a field of cabbages. However, this is HIGHLY unlikely to happen unless you make a HUGE error, as the RX-8 is so forgiving and the DSC so good.

The MOT trackday would be run in Open Pit Lane format for the majority of the day, with one 20 minute “novice” session after the lunch break (if there is interest). This session would be reserved for those new to track driving and would operate with a very limited number of cars on the circuit. The session would begin with two laps behind a pace car, to show you the track and the optimal lines to take through corners, then you are free to continue on your own, but we will offer an experienced track driver in your passenger seat to give advice, if requested. If you have never driven your car on track this is an ideal opportunity to safely explore its limits. The RX-8 is a joy to drive on track, handles superbly and is very forgiving

Full, compulsory, safety briefings will be given to all drivers, whether experienced or novice via online video

With acknowledgement to other RX-8OC members, here’s three videos of what it’s like to drive at Blyton

Don’t worry about massive tyre wear during the day. As long as you’ve got 3mm+ of tread at the start of the day and your tyre pressures are correct, you are good to go.

Blyton Park is situated 1 mile from Blyton village on the B1205. Here's a LINK to the Blyton Park website where you can get more details.
