Guest Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 There's been a couple or queries regarding entering Blyton Park and what should be completed. If you use the entry form in competitors corner it's already prepared for our championship. The form is available for download Here Edited by - comp.scorer on 2 Mar 2014 07:14:25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill E Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I've had a look but can't find out whether the Sprint will be a single or double lap - does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Looking at the SR's it's quoting 4438m so based on a 1.5mile track length i'd say it's a double lapper, but I may be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 PS the SR link is now on competitors corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliW Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Same date as the WEC at Silverstone. Which do I go to??? Arghhh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Angel Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gill, as Blyton Circuit is 1.6 miles long - if the Sprint is 1.5 miles it is a single lap! Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The SR's state The Course is approximately 4438m long and consists of a smooth tarmac, surface with left and right hand corners and fast straight. Utilising the Long Sprint Circuit. which is 2.75 miles so a double lapper me thinks. Edited by - comp.scorer on 12 Mar 2014 14:46:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 According to an email I've received from the organisers it is definitely a double lapper, which is how they ran most of their events at Blyton last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 If you have not entered this round yet there's still time. An updated form is on competitors corner which asks for your email. Don't forget to on the entry form which L7C Class you are competing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I have just spoken to the organisers and they have confirmed they layout that we will be using. Have a look at the circuit maps here. The start is in the same place as last year where it says "pit lane/start" on the outer circuit map. The first lap is almost a complete lap of the outer circuit, but instead of turning right at Ushers you go straight on through Trubshaws, K7 and Carmen as shown on the Inner circuit map. You then carry on around but when you get to Ushers for the second time you turn right and over the finish which is on the corner exit like last year. So it is a 2 lapper but each lap is different, so there is plenty of variety. It looks great fun to me. Please get your entries in ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Causey Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks Matthew. Does look 'interesting' Does that mean we miss out 'The Ump' second time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Steve, I think we do miss it second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulCo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 So that's all my excuses for Blyton down the drain. Goes well, doesn't it? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The final instructions have just landed in my inbox so you should all have them. Please let me know if you have entered but don't receive finals in the next day or so. It looks like there are a healthy 31 L7C entries and only 42 entries overall so we can expect another busy day with lots of runs. Bring plenty of fuel 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 After a damp start to the day the sun broke through and led to a great day's sprinting on one of the longest sprints in the season. Class 1 - Steffan Eldred - 148.48 Secs Class 2 - Andrew Willoughby - 147.89 Secs Class 3 -Matthew Jenkins - 139.97 Secs Class 4 - Joy Hoyle - 142.45 Secs Class 5 - Shaun Elwell - 133.49 Seconds & FTD.

Simon.Rogers1 Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well done everyone. Looks like those special brake pads worked Steff? Looks like that damper service and upgrade worked Graham? Certainly looks like Oli thinks his suspension makes him faster? Alex If you give me a ring I can sort out some upgrades that ensure you will get the better of Joy next time 😬 Shaun very well done on your first FTD? (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted April 20, 2014 Support Team Share Posted April 20, 2014 Simon - it was indeed my first. Can I have some special brake pads please? My brakes were awful. Will post some video tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliW Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Excellent fun today, and the weather held which was good. Chris, I got a time for T1 but it didn't show on the screen. The machine may have been confused by my rerun in P1 which resulted in my P2 showing as T1 before lunch, if you get my drift. On the other hand it may have just been an error, but my time showed on the paper copy. It was slower than T2 and 3 though so no matter. Thanks as always.

Guest Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi Oli, your T1 time is not shown on the final scores, just checked against the master i've just been sent from the time keepers. As it does not effect the scores there is no need to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sorry Simon, but I really didn't get on with the brake pads. They had nothing until they got heat in which meant for the first lap the rear was locking first. I ended up swapping back to my old ones after the test day on Thurs, which were then not bedded in properly. So, I can only conclude that crap brakes make for a fast lap...... sounds like it works for Shaun too ...... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
