BenD Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 After doing the Blyton trackday and seeing the paddock afterwards I think I want to have a go at sprinting. It will be next year. I understand I need all the kit race suit boots and that I've got most of it anyway my car has a full cage that was purchased this year but I'm a little confused as to what class I would be in. It's a mazda 1.6 turbo has 190bhp and is fully Road legal can any help as to what class I may be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 B1 I think - there is a forced induction multiplier to go on top of your engine capacity which takes you to the 'over 1800 class', then you are road legal, 1B tyres, H pattern gearbox, novice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 That's what I thought Adam. Thanks I need to have a read through the beginners guide now and see if there's anything else I need I'm sure I'll have more questions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Banks Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Fantastic news It's always been one of the aims of Blyton and other events to give everyone the opportunity of experiencing sprinting and attracting new competitors. @John Williams - WSCC Competition Secretary and the SSOT will be most pleased. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 if the truth be told ive fallen out of love with driving my car on the road too many idiots around. and have started to do trackdays which im throughly enjoying but feel maybe i need to compete and most of the sprints arent far away from me either.

Simon Waterfall Syman84 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Take it from me. As a first time competitor at blyton this year it is amazing and if you have most of the car sorted already it's very easy to start. I loved every minute of last weekend even if the car didn't run till 11am on Saturday. The bug has bitten me and I'm sorting the car now so I can getting another event in by the end of the season. You'll love it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dommo Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I thought in addition to the FI multiplier, because the turbo wasn't factory fitted you ended up in one of the posh classes. Which wouldn't put me off, as I'd be crap in any class as the sprints involve corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenD Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 What class would I be in then with a non factory fitted turbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriss1455 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Without wanting to jump on @bunje thread. Obviously apart from the suit and helmet that need to meet certain regs, what else is there needed? I was talking to @Dave (OnliestSmeg) - Joint Manchester AO When at blyton but was a little to much to take in at the time. I know there is an msa license needed how do you go about getting the right one? Is there any sort of tests that you need to do or anything?
