Good stuff You'll have a fantastic time!! Remember to give the car a check over a week or so beforehand to make sure your brakes (pads and discs), oil, tyre treads etc are all up to scratch

I love Knockhill.... on the Xbox! :O) Now whats the chances someone could move it 200miles more south?? Here's a deal.... if my engine is ready and reliable then I will drive up and come for the evening session! I have always wanted to do a bit of travelling around Scotland and disappointed I no longer get my business trips to Edinburgh

I'd rather it moved 200 miles further north then it would be almost on my door step

Have you had an track training before? Always wondered if it was worthwhile getting some practice in before meeting the armco

Who's that for?? I have had some track training by a Challenge racing driver in a Challenge car. I would seriously recommend that if training is on offer that everyone should take it. You might come off feeling like your pride has been bashed but really if you take it in you will be a much better driver in reality on the track..... I have done countless track days before both on real tracks and converted airport service roads.

Aimed at everyone really. I'd like to get some proper instruction before I headed out on track, especially in my daily driver. It's a long walk home!
