I was told that there was over 5000 people at Knockhill to Watch the EDC and Time Attack

Lots of other Series would fall over backwards for that sort of Crowd

10,000 expected for Siverstone EDC and |Time Attack on June 1st

+ its on Motors TV

What a wonderful Circuit Knockhill was and the owners/organisers were so helpful and friendly

Knockhill never expected such a turn out but managed to cope...just!
Was great to see such a crowd when attendance figures for most motorsport events are dwindling.
Most accents I heard while wandering about werent Scottish but Polish! One of their fellow countrymen was in the drifting comp so he must have a hell of a fan base!

How/where do the Time Attack organisers publicise their events?

Was there myself, great crowds!!! according to knockhill it was 6kwink & yes Marceij Polody has a huge following, the Poles are definately petrolheads!

I was getting some big cheers from the crowd all weekend, it just encourages you to go that little bit harder. Gotta say 90+ mph sideways over the top of Duffus is proper scary!!!

Roll on Silverstone thumbup

Chavcar racing (no offence!) so it's been publicised for the Max Power brigade

The time attack is aimed at the tuner market, hence all the evo's, scoobies, RX7's & Honda's in the line up. Thaough there are now a few top teams coming on board with professional drivers too.

Yep, won't be long before no one without works backing can afford that!

Looks like an amazing event. That must be plenty more than last year's Knockhill event! I remember we parked right next to the office door last time with Glen and we didn't even turn in that early!

How did you finish then Declan? Good day? I can only agree about Maciej too, good bloke when I've spoken to him and seems to be an alright driver toowinkthumbup

Edit to add, Bon-Bon on top of the leaderboard - good effort Ben! Is he still in the mafia saloon? rofl
