I move to nottingham on friday and its only 72 mile further north.  Might have to llook into this, need new tyres first though as mine are shagged from rockingham on friday just gone.

Loving the location of my new house.  Nice and close to rockingham, mallory park, blyton, silverstone.  Quality location :jumpmove:

It's a fairly sparse location, not far from Kirton Linsey in North Lincolnshire. Like many tracks, it has it's roots in aviation. The area is pan-flat, so there's no lack of run off here. A good mix of corners, and there's fuel for sale in Kirton.

Once had the place to myself & an instructor for a day when I had my scooby. Really good day, the front pads had done 28k and were half worn. 60 miles at Blyton & the other half was done  :grin:

Had a really good day, big thanks to Top Cat and John for playing pit crew  :happy2:

The car was just awesome today and the going to slicks was by far the best decision. Here's some photo's of me in action  :jump move:

Great first track day in the Lotus today, this track takes a while to get right, it is harder than first appears to nail a lap and although small, it has a good variety of turns and corners. Enjoyable all day long in the great weather. Paid for some pics of my car, which looked ok on the monitor, but once on my mac it appears that 99% of them can only be described as average (sh*te )  :fighting:

on- site food was good quality and the marshals worked hard all day to keep things flowing, there was plenty of room on-track all day long, and for the money i cant fault it.  :congrats:
