A reminder if you plan on driving tomorrow.

- Don't forget your license!

KH are now getting very strict about this - wouldn't let an SE member on track last week without it.

A good Day :thumbsup - not too many red flags and some good runs, although my pace was not quite a good as Monday. Great fun mixing it with the other Caterhams . . . . . :drive

Agreed, David :thumbsup First time I've lucked into sharing track space with other Se7ens for several laps at a time. Really enjoyed it :D

Excellent session today, really enjoyed that one :D

Think I'm definitely getting back into it, felt able to relax with the car a bit and start to push a bit more without overdriving it. Did have to dodge a fair amount of debris though, there seemed to be cones all over the track at times, not to mention a bracket off a car just past the apex at Clarks :shock:

Good to meet another couple of SE'ers today, hope you all had a good one.

I signed up late Friday as my next door neighbour Steve "white CSL" was heading up so we went in convoy :)
Last time @ Knockhill was 2000 in my old T plate S1 (sold 2001). Picked up my S2 2 months ago so checked the weather forecast, popped a brave pill and signed up.
The car is standard S2 apart from a hurricane induction kit and the Pro Race Black alloys I bought of Jamie on the forum Friday evening and hurridly fitted Friday night.
Took it carefully for most of the session only spinning the once just after the hairpin so slowest part of the circuit and no harm done :shock:
Witnessed some pretty close action between the S1's which seemed to be having a ball. Weather turned out perfect so now looking to start to build up the confidence
as the last 8 years I have had fwd Renaultsports so rwd will take some learning. Apologies if I held up any of you today :D
