Yorkshire car firm Ginetta announces purchase of Blyton Park test track

Yorkshire car manufacturer Ginetta has revealed it has bought a test track in Lincolnshire.

The Leeds-based car firm has taken over the Blyton Park Driving Centre, which is situated on a former RAF airfield in Gainsborough.

It currently hosts rallycross and grass track driving events as well as track racing on its purpose-built one and a half mile circuit.

Blyton Park is also known for hosting track days and allowing car builders to test their machines.

Ginetta bosses say they plan to protect the track's current reputation and improve the facilities for visitors and drivers.
