Sure can

£10 Sat, £15 sun.

Will be going Staurday. GT race is not until 16.00 on Saturday, so may mean a lot of hanging around.

I can only hope the setup is better than the Touring Cars last year - utter p*sh with only two stalls!

Will be going to the test sessions on Friday and to the race on Sunday. Hope the weather is better than this weekend. Had enough of the snow at the first round at Oulton Park. The VW Cup race got stopped because it was snowing !

I haven't been to the GT's since Brands circa 2000.....I will never forget the thump in the chest as a GT car appeared from below the bridge.....pretty much eclipses anything I've seen since !...really looking forward to itwink

Can anyone turn up to watch the test sessions, was wanting to go to this but work at the weekends and sit about all week which makes it even more annoying, how long are the test sessions and would it be worth going to take some pictures?

The GTs are usually a bit more civilised than the BTCC wink

I'll be making the trip up on Saturday with stupid amounts of camera gear...Might do Sunday if i get out of bed on time biggrin

Link to Knockhill web site giving details of testing on Friday. Will be easier to get pictures as not as busy as Sat or Sun will be.

You don't have to pay when its SMRC or KDMC testing so I would think the same would apply on Friday.

Well, I took the tvrolet up...no sign of the famed team PH, but some other rather tasty bits of kit in the paddock. Damned cold sans roof and side-windows, and then the rain came on on the trip home frown Then got stuck behind a truck carrying earth so now the car looks like its been through a ploughed field.

Car looks good sir....went to a couple of rounds of the Tuscan Challenge at Snetterton a few years back.....Peter Wheeler was driving that day.The racing was fierce and no prisoners were taken......brilliant fun and sadly missed event on the racing calendar...
