Local Porsche support K'Hill Cup race

[Mike58]

Fancy supporting Colin at the touring cars Sept 2/3 - I do -... see you there. Mike& boys

Colin McRae will race in the Porsche Carrera Cup. The former World Rally Champion said: "I know the Knockhill circuit well, which gives you a bit of extra confidence. I'm sure there will be plenty of local support! I've driven lots of stuff at Knockhill, including motorbikes. It's a fairly tricky place and you need to qualify well, so qualifying will be very important."
WHY DON'T WE GIVE HIM SOME TIPS? .... GORDO ..LINES... HA HA

Defo Mike _ i plan on going on Sat & Sunday to c porsches. Elliott would like to meet up with the boys so is that a date?

[Ricardo]

room for 4 in the tent & lots of beer _ fancy a laugh? could squeese 5 in?

 

[Mike58]

Seems reasonable given the fact I have had several beers and a bottle of red tonight.
So unless I see things differently tomorrow organise a site and get back to me and I will share the costs and beer.
I will arrange a few Filipino and Brazilian female colleagues to join us for the evening but they are a bit fussy Ricardo.. so don't get your hopes up!!

Quick update ftom KH. As Brian suggests, boots were a good thing today as v muddy. But, touring cars qulaifying was surprisingly good and the Porsche race was just fantastic - the cars looked and sounded superb & the boys were just drifting them thru all the corners _ best bit of MSport sine Le Mans earlier this year[]

re parking - bit of a problem. No cars allowed "in" circuit by duffers side and all parking on left as u enter is taken up by racers gear. They tried to direct me to the field on the other side of the track but a marshall took pity on me & let me park nr circuit entrance _ doubt thatll be allowed tomorrow.

Went to see Sacha to try and blag some paddock passes & in fairness she tried but none left> tomorrows parking looks like a new field on the right as u enter the circuit?

c u all tomorrow _ Mike - ny mobile is 07775 543269< whats yours??

I have a parking pass for Sun , cost a tenner but hopefully will get me behind the Railway straight. Otherwise for the non park passes it's a field and bus job , the queue last year to get into the field was mega[]
I have pm'd you my mobile no. ricky If you dont get that I will call you between 8.30 and 9.00 am
I am patheticaly excited about seeing the cars tomorrow

Mike

PS had THE biggest skid ever at a roundabout in Kilmarnock today in the 911 , probably diesel spill, I would like to think all the sessions at KHill helped correct it but it was probably just luck []

 

[Mike58]

Well guys a pretty good day out was had .
Touring car race 2 was magic with some robust action taking place, I'm sure I saw a certain Bully boy taking notes during the clashes....
We managed to get the wing mirror from this car..

Porsche Cup cars were driven superbly in the wet/damp conditions . check out the opp lock exiting the chicane..

This was nearly a very nasty accident ..
