If I remember correctly Oliver Bennet did some laps and you had to beat him on a computer simulation of the course.
It was around the time of the Autosport International Show back in January.
As for proper rallycross returning to Knockhil, I dodn't see it happening in the near future.
The southern based competitors say it is too far to travel, and a hike in venue hire made in impossible to run a meeting there without making a huge loss.
It's a shame really because the loose section was brilliant. Proper loose surface, very flowing, and there even was a jump at the end of it  |
It is a shame, Knockhill looked like an excellent track for rallycross -- and in an area without many alternatives it seems. My wife's parents live in Scotland and she has wanted to move there for years, I've always brushed it off but my job is contract work and our contract is ending next year and I've begun to look into it. Racing is my #1 hobby, and I do really like Rallycross -- it's not like Sprint Car racing which I currently do, but looks just as fun or more so. But Scotland seems to be completely devoid of Rallycross without regular events at Knockhill it seems -- I'm not much for traditional circuit racing, and not sure that I'd be very good at it either
