15th September - Today at Knockhill - Pics
Discussion
Evening all,
Took a trip up to the big old KH this morning, in my brother's newly-acquired Fiat Punto with him displaying his newly-acquired driving skills. My blood pressure's just about back to normal . . .
Anyway, the SIDC, as ever, ran a superbly organised open-pit session, with (from a spectators point of view) a very high standard of driving. SIDC days, contrary to first impression, generally feature much more than just Scoobies, and today was no exception, with numerous Sevens, Minis, EVOs and Elises pounding the tarmac.
Any drama? Well, early on, a Mini Challenge car skittered into the tyre wall at the bottom of Duffus - thankfully the driver was unhurt and the car had very minor damage. It began raining towards the end of the session, which caused the obligatory Hairpin spin.
Below is a small selection of photographs, and again most cars have been snapped so ask if you'd like to see your P&J. Prints available too, again, just drop me a line. Comments? Critique? Anything? Post away!
Cheers,
Iain

Aye it was a good day and the rain held off long enough to enjoy loads of laps - although i got blue flagged about 5 times ! One day ill get the hang of this track lark ....
As i was the only Tiv there, do you have any pics iain_cam ?
BTW that bike engined Mini was the nutts. The Nova was rather impressive too !
I'll have a look for your Tiv too. The white Mini was quite amazing actually - there was me thinking it was a stripped out standard (ie. front engined) Mini, got quite a shock wandering through the paddock when my brother said 'Oh look, the engine's in the middle.' Did quite a double-take!As i was the only Tiv there, do you have any pics iain_cam ?
