chrislane Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I was thinking of giving myself a new year treat of some driver training. I know the car limits days are raved about on SELOC, but does anybody have any experience of anything similar a little closer to the east midlands? Cheers Chris
Steve J Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Speak to Mike Williams (MGW Racing - see his advertising banner). He's a qualified instructor and works at different circuits. I'm sure he can sort out something if you book a track day.
stockhome Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I think walshy (carlimits) did some days at blyton park might be worth giving him a ring Also some training on seloc at milbrook http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.php?tid=291720&page=1
GCCK Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Nothing comes close to a Walshy day wherever he's running it. Some insurers even offer a discount if you've been on one of his courses. Go wherever he's doing it as soon as you can, it'll be worth it. On the other hand, if you've ever been drinking with Walshy, the insurers will probably want to add a loading!
S1 Steve Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Walshy day was the best money I spent when I owned the s1
DeanB Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 How much is a Walshy day - roughly? and how much time do you get with him?
noddy Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Can't remember the cost but I did a four car day with Walshy and you get more driving/instruction time than you would expect! A great day and well worth it.
chrislane Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks guys Looking at the website (www.carlimits.com) it appears to be £220 each for a 4 person day or £440 each for a 2 person day. I might send an email to see if they do it anywhere else apart from North Weald in Essex but there is no mention of another venue on the website.

They do it at Blyton Park sometimes, but not as many dates as they do at North Weald.

I'd be interested in doing a day at Blyton Park, probably in late Feb/early March if a few other people were up for it I guess carlimits might put a date on...
Steve J Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 There is a trackday at Blyton in Feb for £99 open pit. I'm sure there'd be plenty of people who'd be happy to passenger and show you lines etc

I'm more after some general training to better understand the on limit behaviour of the car and become a better driver rather than just the best lines round the track.
handbag Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Just to let you know, I had an e-mail from carlimits yesterday to confirm the dates are live for Blyton Park from April through to October: http://www.carlimits.com/script/viewEvents.php?type=circuitday&month=20120401

I'll definitely be looking to see if i can get on one of these dates.
