Andrew Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Next one on my radar is knockhill Thursday Aug 9th. Last time I looked there were only 12 cars booked on, so I'm going to try for a weather watching late booking. anyone else fancy it? Quote
Michael Whitworth Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 Reckon so although I seem to have a lot of other stuff going on so it depends on if I can get all my jobs done that were outstanding or cropped up at Anglesey. 1 Quote
Andrew Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 One week to go, 13 cars booked on and weather forecast for what its worth at this stage, is looking good. Quote
Kingster Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Do you head up the night before @Andrew - if not what time do you get there at to sign on? Quote

If I go, I'll be travelling up in the morning. It's actually quite a late start.. sign on from 9am, briefing at 9-45, and on track at 10am. They don't do sighting laps at Knockhill, and I don't think it's a major problem if you show up late. Easily doable from Newcastle. My pal Steve, (and maybe Mike?) could well be up there the night before. https://www.knockhill.com/trackdays/car-trackday-aug09 Quote
Michael Whitworth Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Yeh Morning start is way too early for me. lol Quote
S2T Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Hope to be doing this for some tyre and aero testing prior to the final round of SLS, will be weather dependant though 1 Quote

I see there are 26 places left, so will watch the forecasts for another day or so. It's not looking too bad at the moment, although I think the heat wave will be over by Thursday. Quote
BenD Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Maybe another wet trackday for you Andrew in one of the dryest years in record. Maybe it's not russ who's the rain man 1 Quote
DonPeffers Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Latest weather report for the area is mostly sunny and dry at 19C; and hoping it's correct. Enjoy. Quote

Hope you're right. I'm getting the car ready now, shall probably book it this evening if the BBC weather man confirms what the on line forecasts are saying. It's still showing half the places up for grabs, so should be a good day. Quote

Andrew Posted August 7, 2018 Author Posted August 7, 2018 Three cars booked on from south of the border. Looking forward to it. Quote
