What a great day out. Good to meet up with the guy's again and make some new mad friends on the way.

Darrell I hope your motor gets sorted soon I hate to see grey car's off the road.
Mark you are a nutter.
Keith and friend (sorry name has gone)... goes without saying "nuts"!!
Graham respect to driving with the roof off. Stunning car you have. Great to meet you and hope to catch you in April
Simon you have always been a nutter and thank's for the laps in the M3 from myslef and Ali. You broke his track day cherry.

We had all intentions of getting wasted once we got home but ended up flaking out on the sofa after we had a take out.

Great day indeed!

Only just found this thread, which is a pity as I may have got my timings correct.

I arrived at KH at 1100 for a 1300 start, but fortunately there was a session going on and they let me join in. I did not realise that it was a Novice day though, as the first car that I caught up with turned out to be a white 600hp RX7, though I thought it was a Honda S2000. Did a lot of laps with him, but though I was faster through the corners, we were identical on the straights. Goos fun and I tried to get him to stay on for the afternoon, but he had to go home.

Fantastic weather in the afternoon, and a great mix of cars. I got through two tanks of fuel, and was on track so much that I never got chance to wander around and have a natter with some of you. A few too many red flags though and we must have lost about 50 mins track time.

Track etiquette and overall driving standard was very good, which made for a very enjoyable session.

I caught up with the blue Nissan 350Z Coupe a few times, and the sound from his engine/exhausts was amazing. He had Nismo detailing on the rear, so I presume it was upgraded?

I see there were a couple of Lambos that were going to come down, but a pity that they did not make it.

Also thanks to those of you that took my son and daughtert out for pax rides.

Cheers

It didn't sound supercharged i have to admit. If i was going by sound alone i'd have said twin turbos, there was no 'charger whine that i could hear, and audible boost dumping on gear changes. But then again, i didn't get a close look, i only heard it in the pit lane and on track, so i'm happy to be corrected!!

The Porsche that was there is called a Porsche PSI Motorsport RTS-3. It's been at Knockhill before and has also been sighted at the Nurburgring wink

The 350z was definately supercharged last year, when standing trackside it doesnt actually sound very nice at all just bloody loud! It can shift a bit though smile

Just a bit of a beast eh!

Seen it before at Knockhill, it seemed to have some sort of problem on this track day though. It was sitting in the pits leaking some kind of fluids frown



oh yes
