I will post the Regs tomorrow and confirm the the cost is £130 per day ( £260 for weekend) We will get at least 2 Practice and 2 Timed runs ( I am trying to negotiate  3) of 1.75 laps of the circuit. On e day clockwise and the other anticlockwise. Steve Arkley is putting together a list of B&B type accommodation for people who need and a crowd of 5,000 to 10,000 people will be there to watch !. I hope we will get at least 8- 10 Westifields there for this great event which few will get chance to drive so please let me know who is going as I need to do some admin such as car number allocation etc as well as liaise with the British Sprint organiser and circuit for paddock parking etc

Camping is outside perimeter fence but 50 yards from main entrance (will get more details on this)

 

The problem for tents, is there's virtually no grassy areas within the paddock to pitch and knock pegs in. 

Obviously not a problem for the affluent members in their motorhomes. ;)

I have just looked at the Knockhill calendar

There is a clockwise car trackday on the Friday 10am-5pm so it maybe worth considering to get practice in going over Duffus Dip or the blind exit chicane

nevertheless like most trackdays I imagine the paddock will be busy in the morning and deplete in the afternoon

Come on folks......only 3 downloads so far.

 

I went to spectate last year and Knockhill is a great circuit and the whole event itself is great with lots to see and do even when your not racing.

Lets be having a few more entries and show case the WSCC to all those spectators.
