Really inspiring to see a very talented engineer turn his engineering knowledge into such a beautifully crafted bit of kit. (Thoroughly nice chap too!)
Hello there to everyone who attended blyton park saturday was epic fun had a great time with you all got a few pics n clips did anyone get any on track footage as i did manage to get mine sorted in time
Tom’s Mk1 genuinely incredible!!! 350bhp I think 
The straight to first corner eaten up in crazy-short time… the only car on the day that almost NEEDED a longer straight… what a cracker 
I’m just going through my GoPro footage to see what I can share back on here. I did follow the Blue fire-breathing 5 in your first photo for a while… made me smile as it was flame-grilled into every corner and often half way down the straights too! Awesome haha.
Nice to see your pics of my Red too, thanks!
Amazing day! thanks for the pics everyone! and the various pointers and help, very good vibes all round all day.
It doesn’t look like I was going quite as quick as I remember though!?! must have been on a cool down lap 
Now I see what you meant about left foot braking! some fancy footwork there Adam,
Apologies. Our photo’s would normally have been out by now but there is an upload problem. The photographer has a new camera and the stored file size is rather larger than Fickr wants. Computer says no!
Files are having to be resized so that they can be uploaded. 
A very well organised day once again, shame it wasn’t 2 days again like last year. Non the less was a v
Ah. So that was where that late slot on Thursday went to!
Glad you all had a great day. Sad to have missed out. Will try ‘fastest finger first’ for whenever the next one comes along…
Cheers,
Steve
Sorry, i had a glass of wine and felt brave for my daughter to have her first track day. Obviously have quicker fingers
Fantastic photos NickD. Cant wait to do another MOT trackday with you guys!
Thanks for the photos - both arranging the 'tog Nick, and Katie for the time spent taking them!
Long live caravan tyres 
Great photos thank you. Any chance of a MX5 only MOT Trackday at Donny???
Certainly
All we need is 60 drivers willing to commit
Add 1 + extra driver for me
Done a few TDs with various organisers but this by far was the most enjoyable. No egos or aggression, just good fun.
MOT Trackdays are running an evening session at Donnington on the 25th of July that I’ve signed up for. It’s being promoted by the MX-5 Europe facebook group as a group event, so though not MX-5 exclusive there should be a good number of 5’s.
We ran one in 2020, although it got bumped due to Covid to 2021. It was well supported. However when we tried to do the same in 2022, we had around 20 orders, so had to open it up to all cars.
This is the issue you get when trying to run single type car events.
Main circuits like Donington are exponentially more expensive during race season, they are not cheap out of season either, but is why the majority of main circuit “affordable” are out of season. The issue with that is a fair few MX-5 owners don’t want their cars out at that time of year.
We have have days at Donington and Oulton in November. I am happy to make any or even both of them MX-5 only events, but not on a whim. If the OC wants to promote either of these events and if the members are willing to put their hands in their pocket and book, then yes this can be done.
Pembrey has also been suggested as a venue, some thing applies, we need the customers to make the events.
I think Blyton was a superb little circuit for the mx5. It doeant need a track with big long straights unless you have a mega blown motor lol …small and twisty is more fun…so Blyton, cadwell…knockhill etc
