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.

Bought some Macallan 18 year old (2018) last week when we were in The Whisky Shop in Aberlour, not opening it before you ask

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 was a perfect September afternoon weather wise Chris and introduced me to the track's intricasies

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.
