Opened in May 2011, built within the confines of the former RAF Blyton saw our first visit in 2013 for their very
first National B Sprint. But after further investments there are now multiple layouts, and new to us for 2018 the
Eastern circuit brings a mix of old and new.
It feels very much like Curborough on Steroids - technical and fast, with a good mix of fun quick sections as well
as slower corners rewarding patience and technique. Some sections of the circuit are marked with cones so you
need to keep your wits about you.
Location :
Old Blyton Airfield, Kirton Road, Blyton, Gainsborough DN21 3PE
Points to note:
Watch the access road coming in as it does have some serious potholes.
The paddock has numbered bays, and you can camp in front of your paddock bay. Be prepared for a long walk
from your paddock position to the facilities and office. The entry gate is normally locked a 10pm on Friday night
and opens at 7am on Saturday morning.
Site has a café and showers,
