Blyton Park MX-5 Only Day - 1st June

Brilliant photos.

I had Android Auto installed by Mazda the week before I attended Blyton Track day, a few days later my passenger window failed & I took it to Mazda for repair.
Before the Track day They had given my car a clean bill of health as they do (complementary health check) but after my window failed & dropped it off to Mazda I received another video of my Health Check, they found my rear break disks Scored (BAD) & Front off side shock absorber was so wet it looked like it was dipped in oil. This has worked out to be an expensive weekend but I loved it & so happy I got to meet all the people I did. Thank you all for such a rememberable time.

Unfortunately track days do stress the car more than the road, and is an inevitability that repairs are required regularly. Be thankful the day was completed in full!

Hello folks

The magazine team are looking to cover the track day as the motorsport feature in the next magazine and are looking for some input about the Blyton day - any of you as participants be up for putting together 3-400 words about their experience of the day to share with other members who might like to do another day in the future?

Perhaps it was your first time on track, or first time at Blyton or you are a track or Blyton veteran and can pull together a few words about how the day went?

Time is tight as we are putting the magazine together now, but there are some great pictures from the day and would be great to accompany them with some experiences

Huge thank

PM or email for help guidance

@StuMaz it was great to meet you too Stu and you’re co pilot… and the motor was the most colourful MX5 there, all the best for future events pal :+1:

Hey Blueben. Thanks and am hoping to see you out and about at some other events soon :slight_smile:

If any of the turbo power guys are about i would appreciate some pointers and advice on how to do that to ours :slight_smile: :smiley:

Is anyone booked on the Blyton day end of august?

I don’t know what more I can say on top of what I posted on the forum, I live about 30 miles from Knockhill Race Track (30 Minutes) but the thing that got me about Blyton was it was an MX5 Day, Always wanted to see what my “Wee Darlin Skyler” could do on the track but I didn’t like the thought of other car owners (BMW’s) taking the P155 out of me being a novice. I finished work early on Friday to drive down & booked a hotel so I would be fresh on Saturday, and same on the way back I booked a hotel in Hartlepool as I knew I would still be buzzing at the end of the day. it was an expensive weekend but IT was Worth it as I had the best time ever in my car & I learned a lot from all the other MX5 owners that I would never have received at any venue. I could try & see if I could strum up a 300 - 400 word essay about my experience but I don’t think I could do it justice of how good that weekend was & all the “NEW” friends who gave me guidance & support especially being a novice on My First Track day. I am looking forward o doing it again next year :+1:

Let me know if I can help in anything else, what I would say is Everyone there were there to Help each other, that is what I did like.
