Default how is the track?

me and my dad were considering visiting in the near future so I was just wondering whats the track like? is it a fast open track or a tight and technical track. also what tyres would you run as me and my dad think the big jumps would destroy our foams.

Hi Callum

I would say that there's a bit of everything, but more technical than open.

A Lap at Blackpool - Blast down the straight then brake hard just before the banked turn. Turn right around the apex then accelerate, two left handers and over the jump. Sharp right and punch it towards the woop, then hard right and left, and glide over the table top. Right and then left neat as you can, over the next woop then line up for the quick right-left-right then back onto the straight.

Only one person has used foams so far, Alex. I think he's at Ribble on Friday so you can ask him what he thought. The jumps aren't so big that you have to get lots of air.

The only real answer is to come over and have a go!!
