BHP performance day Lydden Hill
 

not been on here for quite some time ( Tiny and Karen where still the boss lol ),was just looking to see if anyone was attending the bhp performance show at Lydden Hill today and just thought i would say hi .

Tony

I've just seen your post....after the event!
Did you go?
I did, and managed a bit of track time too.
I thought it was a good day, lots of nice quick motors hooning around!

saw your car parked on the hill,had a look round for ya mate but was packed over there :)

I was lucky enough to get to do Demo Laps in the multicoloured Spec-c....free track time...brilliant!
Seemed a very succesful day......and pretty incident-free on the track.

If you enjoyed your track-time there's a full trackday at Lydden on 29th June......good value, very laid-back and great fun.

PS...I don't work for Lydden, but if you like the track enough to join the semsec race series that might get help get our race entry fees down a bit:D

The demo laps must've been fun!
I think my track excursion was a bit slower though!

I did a track day there last year and, as you say it's very easy going.
Unfortunately I cracked a front disc so wasn't a great success!
(all now replaced with Godspeeds)
I'm actually keen to try Brands this year as I found Lydden so short, you seem to be forever turning and I wouldn't mind opening the car up a bit more....

Do you compete in the SEMSEC series then?

Having done quite a few trackdays at Lydden I decided to go racing and joined SEMSEC. Best decision I ever made:D. Last year was my first season, fantastic fun, really friendly club....so I'm back again this year.

We have a round at Brands Indy, so I'll be looking for a trackday myself soon to get a bit more practice. It's and awesome circuit, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. It's a lot kinder to tyres than Lydden as well.

Here's a couple of pics of the car in the race series. Hope to see you at Lydden in the future....maybe even in SEMSEC!

Early race last year:

Second race this year I actually got into the lead, got overexcited then did this:nono:

Cheers, Andy

I still have the footage!

I remember seeing that spec c last year, highlight for me was the mental blue classic that whooped everyone! And of course the drive back with Timo :norty:

Hope this year was just as good :thumb:

Hello Banhama
I recognise your motor from a couple of other visits to Lydden, you certainly know the quick way around there!
That's quite a track weapon you have there.
I'll be looking up Brands track day dates and I'll also look up the SEMSEC meetings too, hopefully see you again sometime.
Your 2nd pic looks like a very hairy moment! I hope you recovered a good position....?

Hi Andy AWG
I'd almost forgotten about the illusive footage!
Yes that blue classic was a bit quick!
This year's show was bigger & better than last year.
