SIDC Track Day Knockhill 17 May

[puckrup]

Just like to extend my thanks to SIDC members and John Stewart in particular for what was a superbly well organised event. First track day with Sagaris, conditions less than ideal and sorry guys, it was me who spun out at Duffus causing the first red flag

Quote of the day from track marshall as he directed us back after collecting a splitter full of kitty litter "just drive back to pit lane but keep off the racing line ....... if you know what that is!" Classic

Found all drivers extremely courteous and accommodating - never felt under pressure or intimidated in the corners at all.

Glad you all enjoyed it - it was great to have some TVRs back in numbers on track again

Great photos as well, if you have any more just post them up. I've uploaded a small selection of mine here:

Yes, thanks to everyone involved in making my first track day very enjoyable. Had a great day despite the wet conditions early on resulting in a short trip onto the grass. New Gaz Golds and a set of 888’s are needed for next time I think. Great meeting up with the other TVR lads for the drive down and for the steak pie and pint on the way home. Hope I didn't hold too many people up on the track, am still amazed how good the Lotus guys are on the brakes.

Great pics John, pin sharp. Can wait for my new lens now!

I had a drag up the straight with my mates 340r (340r vs atom) did anyone catch that?

cheers

Both the Sag and the Fezza were pretty much equal going up the straights. However the Fezza was far quicker in the twisty bits. The electronic gizmos definitly made the difference
