Saturday BTCC at Knockhill

Post by Stewart » Sat Aug 16, 2008 9:24 pm

Decided to pop up first thing this morning as I am not keen on the crowds that no doubt will gather tomorrow. Some great action from all the series. Anybody who is going tomorrow is going to have a great day. I think I will watch the action on ITV4 in between preparing my car for it's French jaunt :)

Anyway, here are some of the better snaps I took today. It was quite refreshing to see some different machinery and visit different parts of the track.

My wife has just shouted 'what's wrong' due to the gasp/wow/shout I just gave out when I scrolled down and hit that porsche No8 pic. All your pics are top quality but those two 911 ones are absolutely fantastic. :shock: :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
