Re: Knockhill car Track Time Today
I had arranged a trackday at Knockhill in June on my Harley even bought a van, alas it wasn't to be.
Its something I really want to do so I've postponed it for 12 months.
Looking forward to seeing your pics!

Re: Knockhill car Track Time Today
What a fookin afternoon The track is ‘Wee’ yes but quite technical with the dramatic changes of height especially that blind first corner, wow Image Had a brilliant 2 hours with a few races with similar ability - young guns and men Carolyn had her dSLR and took some mega photos
The day wasn't full so plenty of clear track at times mixed in with some close quarter fun at times

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Nice shots Billy wizz.
I must have overdosed back in my youth (and erm middle age) with racing then trackdays, as I find I have absolutely no desire to bounce off the rev limiter any more. Although I wouldn't mind a few laps of the 'Ring in a decent car as I have never done it on 4 wheels.
About 300 to 400 bhp per tonne would be entertaining enough!

Next time I take the car to 'The Ring' John I'll give you a shout and you are welcome to take her round with the usual, "you crash it, you fix it" - which I'm sure you won't
Planning going on the bike in 2021, restrictions allowing It's been a while, last bike I took round was me BCR in 2018 It's 'The ViPeR's turn
It was a perfect September afternoon weather wise Chris and introduced me to the track's intricasies I went very sideways but only once, over Duffus DIp, my fault, but the car saved me from much embarrassment and cost and a guy that was chasing me in a GT2 came to find me in the Paddock afterwards and said "You gave me a nice shot of the side of your car out there" Great fun.

Re: Knockhill car Track Time Today
GT2 - now you're talking.
Can you persuade him to get to the 'Ring next year too?
A very kind offer John - sadly one I fear I will never take up, but generous of you to make it.
Chris - many factors like health issues, financial ones with Covid kicking hell out of the business and two mates dying from it - old age too.
