We still have 25 cars, so the action should still be good throughout

Should be a good weekend to sit in doors and watch motor racing, but may be not if you are at knockhill getting wet

in other news, toca are perhaps doing the right thing but forcing a lot of freelancers into a corner by demanding nobody travels outside the uk in the 14 days before they work at an event. some pretty harsh penalties if you’re caught fibbing too. |

the worst day was tuesday. howling it down, no respite. it's now colder, but less wet... touch wood, don't think anyone has lost an awning yet which is an almost annual occurance up here.
pretty sure they could rig up a sail using the lifting points on the cars in all seriousness, it's such a shame for the circuit that they can't allow people in. msv feels quite corporate, but what knockhill lacks in facilities they make up for in the warmth of the welcome. the staff are fantastic, it feels like a real family venue. |

the roads down the hill from the circuit into town were a rally stage with rivers and puddles on tuesday night whereas today it was just a bit wet. it was possible to leave awnings and not drown at several points during today which was definitely not an option on tuesday

Definitely is a circuit run with family love and warmth. Which is why I think their request for people to transfer tickets to next year (instead of refund) would probably be widely accepted.

Your not wrong.
One of the few positives of leaving my beautiful homeland and moving to the UK was being able to see some fantastic motor racing. Missing it massively EDIT - that sounded harsh on the UK, didn't mean to be. Just miss my beloved Zimbabwe. |

no i think it’s an entirely true statement about the uk, we are really good at holding loads of motorsport in a pretty small country!
it’s supposed to be dry from here on this weekend... fingers crossed. |

Dry but windy. It was baltic on Saturday last year because of the wind!

In the early days of RWD NGTC, an article was published that mentioned a potential weak point (5) in a bracket where the wishbone meets the subframe.
I believe this was deliberate so that it was an inexpensive item to replace that could be done quickly. Sutton has reported that something on the sub frame broke. TCT report that it was a part of the suspension. Others have suggested axle (driveshaft?). Ultimately, does it really matter to anyone other than the team having to repair the car? From a spectator perspective, the car was not in a driveable condition. |
