3 hour open pit lane at Knockhill

Post by JohnStewart » Tue Nov 27, 2012 2:13 pm

Knockhill have been in touch to say that they are running a track day this Sunday from 12 to 3pm, and if we can get 5 people interested, then the price will be only £60 instead of £75. It's an open pit lane session, and not a hot hatch type event.

To book simply phone: 01383 723 337 and ask to speak to Gemma or mention SIDC.

Sounds great

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

For anyone booking on to this track day - SIDC only have 1 person on the list for the reduced rate, but Track Scotland had a couple - i booked my 2 places with them and that made the 5 to get the reduced rate - so it may be an idea for the person who put their name on the SIDC list to book on using Track scotland as its now up to the 5 x places needed.

HTH.

I know I want to too!

I am doing an autotest all day tomorrow (first in quite a while)... not sure if I'll have much tyres left afterwards (starting with 2mm of tread :oops: ). Also have other plans for Sunday,... but still tempted...

Dom, I have rears here that would be more than ideal for an auto test, gratis of course. ;)

Little DIY tonight on the Clio!

Adjusted the toe by a quarter turn to add some toe out to hopefully reduce the understeer on the slower speed corners, no idea how much a quarter turn equals so we will see how long it takes me to spin off tomorrow lol
