I've been following the weather closely, I much prefer dry conditions on track.The BBC forecast looks good (very windy), the MET office not so good. The BBC site will update from the MET site just after 10am.. so we'll see.

How many are expected to turn up tonight?

- I've also got a 12v Air compressor thing (it's strapped under the footwell though) and a semi-decent pressure gauge if needed.

Buster - I think that the general concensus is that Knockhill i the wet is actually surprisingly fun. The overall speed is slightly less, but you learn much more about your car, especially the elise type cars (yours included).

The new tarmac is MUCH grippier than last year which is very noticeable in the wet. It should be good whatever the weather :lol:

Thanks for the tyre pump offers guys :)

I've started to use http://www.metcheck.com for the weather, usually very accurate, but then no idea how it will work for the KH weather system :roll:

Buster, I look forward to seeing the roadster, I brought the first one in Scotland up to KH when I worked at Mercedes, infact still see it kicking around Edinburgh - yellow one.
