PCGB / OPC GLASGOW TRACK DAY MAY 7TH 2016 - Knockhill

Looks like I'm not going to make it as my car is still with a tuner down south , I take it its porsche only on track ?

 
I'll be at Knockhill with my CR, which is for sale by the way.

Cup 2 Tyres to try. Should be interesting........

Think Matt Collins is taking my space now , if I knew i could of used my little fiesta st daily would of kept the space.
 
What an absolutely fabulous day at Knockhill.

Well organised as usual by the very capable Steve Kevlin. Also must mention the generous complimentary refreshments of tea/coffee and cakes kindly provided by OPC Glasgow.
Good to see another well attended Knockhill Porsche Club event with the added bonus of excellent weather.

Hopefully we are on the way to making this an established event in the PCGB track day calendar.
Maybe in the future PCGB may consider holding a reverse direction Knockhill event, just to keep the interest going.

I totally agree with all of the above, my first time on track in my own car and everything was organised and co-ordinated a way which allowed everyone to get lots from the day. Many thanks to all who put the efforts in to make this happen.
ps if anyone has any pics/vids of the silver 981 on track please let me know as I'm trying to get a memento for my Dad who shared the car with me (so it might not have been me that was driving slowly!)
 
Seen lot's of folk with cameras at the track. Does anyone know where to get any pictures that were taken ?
 
Just watched your other video Greig , that was a heart stopper with the two slow/stopped cars at the chicane ![:-]

Indeed, have watched it a few times, probably the best line I'd taken through that bend all day! Especially concerning since I had someone else's child in the car. I seem to have missed the first yellow flag 2 corners before - however it was stationary (there is a reason it is meant to be waved). Then I'm pretty much unsighted and the marshall at the corner where the incident is doesn't have his flag out until I'm coming up the hill. The video looks fairly calm but it doesn't show how airborne I got, as I felt the thump coming back down. No damage done though, so all's well.....

I've finished uploading all video I captured - full playlist here:

Great day, I believe zero red flags all day. Driving standards were high! Many thanks to Steve and Donald for letting an interloper on.

Scott - some video here (in glorious 4k), I believe your car is in it right at the beginning..
