I'm considering it having done Knockhill before.
Though I wouldn't call 50 cars on 1.2 miles circuit low, but hey...
Btw, why wouldn't it be on their WWW ?
It`s not 50 cars on circuit at once! It`s 50 cars booked on the day, circuit limit is less than that.Though I wouldn't call 50 cars on 1.2 miles circuit low, but hey...

They only gave the event the go-ahead a couple of days ago, guess they haven`t got round to updating the website yet.
So glad I spotted this - booking on it first thing tomorrow.
Love full day OPL, and very rare at KH.
Whoosher - you/I were running close together last year...although you are a better driver than me
To date you are the only non-7 type car that has been slower than me on the straights and faster than me in the corners*

- there are lots of other cars quicker than me everywhere and also 7's that are quicker than me on the straights and slower in the corners
Lol! I have tried that a couple of times but it doesnt really work. By the time we get strapped into the car etc there isn't much time left. Plus with helmets and aero I really need an intercom so that I can get immediate feedback.
KH do stand alone tuition sessions, which are a bit longer - I was hoping that if I did one of those then we'd get chance to fit an intercom headset too...

but there's always a first time!So where does Caterham fit into the knockhill days? They seem to have
Hot hatch track
Cat Track
I will have a road legal Caterham (week today yay) so wonder if road legal status changes things. As for tyres if they are all CR500 will destroy 2 sets on track then probably switch to yoko 48 methinks based on your mail and general consensus

Hiya - I think you mean Car trackdays?
The hot hatch days are cheap and cheerful days with cheap and cheerful cars. A few years ago they looked virtually like banger racing and I think KH got into trouble over it. They are allegedly better run now but I don't/haven't been on them.
They have a lot of cars and are sessioned.
The car trackdays are/were the more "exclusive" days (there used to be a weird guideline that your car was worth more than £10k!) and are the normal trackdays to go for.
Bear in mind that many clubs also run their own days:-
SIDC (the subaru club) run 3-4 a year.
dreadnought garage sometimes runs ones (but I think they have passing on either side?)
Trackscotland - http://trackscotland.co.uk/ - they seem friendly and the day I went on with them was well run.
Something you may also be interested in - the trackscotland people have setup a mini time-attack championship this year. You all go out on track at the same time but try to set the fastest time, so its timed/competitive but it's not direct racing....but I can't remember the name of it/find the details.
