Yep that was a brilliant way to spend a Saturday morning 😀
Really well run event and a joy to explore the capabilities if even only a little of the Exige and nice meeting the folks I chatted to. Look forward to seeing some snaps of the day
Cheers

Glad you all enjoyed the day, and the unseasonably nice weather for Knockhill in March!

I've put a selection of photos up on FB: https://www.facebook.com/pg/FlatOutPhot ... 9845850908

Not sure if I've quite got one of every car that took part, as I spent a long time chatting to people.

Yep, really good day.
Thanks John for organising.
Had so much fun I run out of fuel! Note to self not to trust the gauge on a track day. Thanks to James for the top up too.
Need a new towing eye too, it’s now oval instead of round, think if the car was in the gravel it would of just snapped.

Loved it yesterday. Weather was superb and thanks John for another well run event. You set the bar continually high and most of the drivers respond with good behaviours making it really enjoyable. I managed to go for 3hrs 40 minutes in the VX on the 1 tank of fuel thanks to the newly fitted 60ltr fuel tank, those of you who are thinking about it, do it, it makes a world of difference not having to scoot off to find fuel!

Great day yesterday after a year out.... had to take it easyish due to engine being newly rebuilt and a brand new tyres which came on really well.

Really looking forward to the next and a big thanks to John again for organising the day. :thumbsup

Had a great day, thanks to John for arranging the weather. Great track etiquette as always, and a great view of the Ferrari GT car off as I was right on his tail at the time although the front clam got a bit of a pebble dashing!

thanks John for a great day and Uncle Ron for letting me loose in his mighty S1, which was absolutely glued to the tarmac.

New track is a fair bit different and wider in sections - should make for some fantastic racing this year.

Good to see everyone, V6's continuing to grow in numbers, Tut back behind the wheel still intent on dicking all comers....tremendous.

Oh, and how good did Craigs orange S1 sound - could be a contender for the best sounding S1 I've ever heard!

Wow, that's two years in a row the March weather has been kind to us, couldn't have had a better day.

Thanks again for the great organisation John, the day ran like clock work as usual.

Never got to talk to many people, was busy all morning and all of a sudden it was 1pm.
My car manage to cover 110 laps, most it's ever done round there. I really liked the new surface too.
Time to book up for the next one :D

I was just wanting to show someone the new tarmac and slight differences around the track.

Cheers Kenny :thumbsup

Just registered to say thanks to all for your patience last Saturday waiting to get past me in the Three Wheeler!
I was working quite hard really...and you'd be shuffling the wheel too if you had Morgan's cutting edge ergonomics :ROFL :drive

That looks ace Calum, almost looks like a classic F1 car with skinny tyres from your video, but the sound at the start reminds me of my lawnmower. Ice-cool car. 8)

Good on you for taking it on track. :thumbsup

Oh, and :welcome

I know you've seen this Calum, but it was cool ;)
