Deano85 Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Hi All, I'm in the west midlands and looking at some track days but wanted some advice. I've got a megablade 919 and so far have only done Curborough. Three Sisters looks like a decent little track and I think it will suit the car as there's no long straight. Has anyone else done this one? Blyton also looks good but it's a fair distance to get there. Any other recommendations? Quote

So much run off for mistakes and good variety too. Quote
Deano85 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Posted July 16, 2022 I wanted to do the club day but it landed on the same Friday as a work event 😭 1 Quote
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Try Anglesey. Plenty of room and plenty of run off. 😀 Quote
TAFKARM Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Do want to develop your skills or just have a good time? Bedford is a decent novice track, but doesn’t push you to become a better driver. I.e you can drive badly but still be reasonably fast. Otherwise, Oulton Park - fortune favours the brave!! Quote
neptune Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 Cadwell park is great in a westfield. I appreciate is a trek for you but IMHO well worth it. Blyton last week was a blast and we got to try 2 circuit layouts in one day Quote
stephenh Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Do you want to do a hillclimb? If so, Shelsley Walsh won't be too far from you. Quote
Deano85 Posted July 18, 2022 Author Posted July 18, 2022 I'm interested in hill climb but would need to invest in a new roll cage as mine isn't certified. £1200+ I don't want to spend at the moment! I go watch at Loton Park regularly and have always fancies having a go. For now I'd prefer track days as there's more time in the drivers seat. Quote
Mole Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Donnington would be fine.. just drive at a pace you are happy with... Quote
stickymint Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Where ever you go consider getting some tuition - I can guarantee it will be money well spent. Driving a Westfield to it's limits puts a smile on your face 😁 Quote

Driving a Westfield to it's limits puts a smile on your face 😁 Be careful with tution. I got the msv tuition added to my first track day in my Westfield. He grabbed the wheel to push me closer to the apex and it resulted in a spin very close to the barrier. Would I do tuition again at a trackday. No. Quote

No. That's very unfortunate and quite frankly unacceptable......However, it's not the norm, and every time I've had tuition I have only come out of the other end being a better driver.....Tuition is probably the single best upgrade for lap times. So, assuming the people doing the tuition are competent, then it is worth it. Back to the OP.......Being a complete chicken when it comes to high speed stuff, I prefer the airfield type tracks with a smaller course and tighter corners, and very big run-offs. If you can make the journey down south (a little), somewhere like Abingdon (motorsport-events) run a really good track day (usually on Fridays). 1 Quote
TAFKARM Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 You should try Donington @Jenko it’s fast but not scary. Quote

I do need to do a few different ones and Donington sounds fantastic.....One of my main issues no trailer....So I tend to drive my Westfield to the tracks. Irronically, Thruxton is my closest track, and also happens to be one of the fastest in the UK!...So I've stayed away 🙂 - Quote
