track day question - which track in the north??
Hello all,
I'm looking for a good airfield track in the north to test the new car out, anybody got any recommendations? I love oulton and donington, but
I'm after a cheap day somewhere without barriers for myself and a novice to test the car at speed, looking at blyton park, but have no idea if
It's any good. All suggestions welcome!
Thanks,
Henry (More than a bit excited at having a new toy, even if rather second hand...)

Blyton, if you want a safe day, but Cadwell if you want to enjoy yourself

I'll second Blyton. It's a proper track surface laid into the old runways so a lot better than an airfield but still with the run off and
it's cheap compared with the race circuits. I believe testing is available as well as track days.
Some vid' from last Sunday....

And I'll 3rd it. It's ideal for what you want by the sound of things

Cheers folks,
Looks like just what I was after, although no slow tin tops would be nice, but we can all dream, eh? Will start looking for a date in may, just a few
jobs to sort out first - new harnesses, trailer and cooling the engine better!

Blytons a nice long track at 1.7mls IIRC and can't say I've ever had a traffic problem (or seen anyone else having one either) but then
again we're only in a 'slow' tin top.
