Knockhill - World Of Supercars this Sunday (12th Aug)
Re: Knockhill - World Of Supercars this Sunday (12th Aug)
A few photos from phone
Evora 430 was out on track sessions. Thought it was black but actually a very dark green in colour
Senna looked a bit better in the flesh than pictures. 720s looked a lot better than magazine pics and a full carbon 650 something was interesting (but very black if more than a foot away so not really so interesting !)
Caught my eye amongst TVR's love the colour and my favourite wheels
Esprit looked small compared to the Nissan GTR next to it.
Managed to get Chris (corranga) Maserati in the background as well as the only S1 Elise
Some pics of my 968. 70 years of Porsche so all Porsche were parked together and we got to do a parade lap and line up on start line
Some false expectations me thinks
Renault Dallara things were disappointing on track, no acceleration although it was pouring down but they were doing 1m20s + laps

We saw the orange 720 on its way down A9 near Bridge of Allan Sunday as we headed north for some glamping.
The deep green Evora is quite something.

Did anyone notice your wonky non Porsche vinyl?
Re: Knockhill - World Of Supercars this Sunday (12th Aug)
Non OEM spec letters, omg !!
Nobody noticed, perfect job, BigD vinyls company, highly recommended
Still to put the BigD special sunstrip on. Hopefully next weekend. Not sure May approves of a sun strip, mind you I might have said it will say Ian + May along it
Always happens, someone next to you has bigger / better. Maybe I need a big turbo decal as well (although I don't have a turbo)
For those confused, rear wings got resprayed a few months ago, lost the last letters of the big ClubSport decal so Big D made me replacement single letters to match. Now that he has pointed it out, the T isn't exactly straight if you look closely.

I enjoyed the day despite the weather. Nice selection of cars there, would have been amazing had it been dry I think. Apparently that's the 3rd year of that event and it's rained every year.
Wasn't really sure how I felt about taking my cheap poor man's Ferrari to a Super Car show and displaying it, then the S1 Elise parked up next to me and I felt a little better - and REALLY glad I didn't have mine with me in that weather - and of course the rain kept the car nice and wet hiding the awful paint on the front bumper
Drivers lounge with free biscuits was a good plan, though we didn't venture in there until late in the day as it was BUSY earlier on. We headed in during the Porsche parade, and walked out to an almost deserted show!
Hopefully the weather is better next time around!

It was a good day despite the weather. I took a load of track photos, and very few static ones apart from a couple of the Porsche parade lap.

I went to the paddock display area after lunch to find it mostly empty, and the manufacturer displays were aso being packed away.

I saw it last time I was at Leven, sounds incredible and a sight to behold although I thought it was black

It's more green in the sun - I've seen it kicking around Dundee a few times

Some great pics there despite the weather...
Is it just me but that spoiler on the Evora look a bit wrong.... I do love the Evora, it just looks like a cosmetic after thought.
