Hi im entering in the full series run by javelin its a step up from track days with a more competitive format and series standings too. Atm there is 5 cars booked in within the kit car class so would be great if more could be tempted to join the series or individual rounds.
Price is £139 and the first round is at blyton park 3rd april.

Ive been yes good fun track pretty quick track and some really challenging sections the first chicane is taken pretty quick but can cost a lot of time if done wrong. The back straight is fast im doing 100mph before going into the braking zones either side of the chicane half way down. Last section is fantastic its very much like the sweeping section at becketts at Silverstone very fast left right left. If never been before would say to do a track day first to learn the track first.

That was good. Anticlockwise tacks are rare. Perhaps a good chance to put some wear on the right-hand tyres!

Good luck in the series welshy 8)
Keep us updated with your endeavour.
Hope to get a couple in towards the end of the year, as this year is a 'get used to it', and want to get some practice in before full on sprinting event...
Best of luck and will keep an eye out for ya ... :)

Will do car is out atm with g19 having the turbo conversion finished so will get that back and then fit the new wildwood 4 pot calipers then and some new tyres. Looking at times last year at events specially at blyton park and my times when I was n/a should be within the top 5 in lap times overall. So will be in contention for the championship. But will keep the group updated.
Good luck with it all & keep us posted. I just like doing track days myself as I know I wouldn't be able to commit to a full series. 8)
Best I update this picked the car up from g19 slight issue with the rolling road run meant we couldn't get a full power run but the car feels great. Little video from g19

Also to aid in cooling cut more holes in the front nose cone and fitted bonnet vents to let the hot air out will also be lining the underneath of the bonnet as its fiberglass in a heat reflective tape to stop the bonnet catching fire from the heat off the downpipe.

Will keep this page updated after each round so far there are 2 other cars in my group a ralt libre single seater thing and a mk indy powered by a hyabusa engine so should be pretty close expecting sub 1.10 lap at blyton hoping to get into the 1.08
Well llandow track day didn't go to plan the good news is I matched my lap time from last year with it n/a and tbh wasn't even trying that hard downsides is a big oil leak think its crank oil seal and the 6 speed gearbox which is crap so will swap it back over to the 5 speed.
But did manage to get the brakes bedded in along with the tyres so not all bad stripping it down tomorrow find the problem and sort it out during the week.
Llandow is good for bedding in your tyres that's for sure. Hope the swap goes ok with no problems. :)

It certainly is, going to strip it apart tomorrow see what I need.
Well managed to get to rockingham after finishing the car on the Saturday with a bit of tunning work on the ecu and what a day no problems at all and was the quickest car there along with a pair of stripped out e46 m3. Learned a lot with it and got a few tweaks ready for the sprint series.
Glad it worked! Always good when your hard work comes together. Good luck with the sprint series - keep us posted!
Well first rd has come and gone and would love to give you all an update but the car was in no fit state to run massively overfueling the day before at spring action day meant I had to miss the first round.
Hoping to make the 2nd one if all goes to plan to fix the issue.
