I'd say 1.20 is a good time for the Honda. For comparison I was doing 1.19s in the RX-8 and have done 1.16s in prior years in my last FD.
 
I was doing 1.15 -1.16 in my fd at blyton when i was last there so a 1.20 is certainly a good time.

I got a 20 min tuition session first time out and it gave some really good pointers and brake markers.
 
Thanks to the organisers. Had a great day and it was a pleasure meeting those who attended.

Roy gave me a few pointers when I took him out (thanks again!) and I managed a best lap of 1.20, although I had to slow right down at the drive-by noise limit tester! First time at Blyton and first time on track with this FD. Such a blast!

Racebox hidden in the Glovebox with external antenna on the dash. Awesome bit of kit very accurate and user friendly.

Having posted that, I've now discovered that the Racebox used a different start/finish position compared to the one I've used previously. Given that I was only driving one hot lap, followed by a cool down in the afternoon due to damaged undertray, it made quite a difference to my times as Racebox has recorded me starting a lap while I'm still driving slowly. Explains why I seemed to be getting slower times in the afternoon.

So having exported the data into Circuit Tools, I actually have a best of 1.18.88 in the RX-8 using the following start line:

Morning all. Those who attended the track day on Friday - outbreak of covid at my child's school on Thursday last week (we were told last night). My household began to feel unwell on Saturday. I've just done a test and it's positive.
Please test yourselves and self isolate where required.

Not sure if I've posted this in the most suitable place. Admin can moderate?
