Up and about at 7am, packing cameras and extra clothing for a long day at Knockhill.
I had been anticipating this event for a good few months now and finally it was here, along with some sunshine!
After an hour on the road I arrived at Knockhill to find Marc (from the garage) at the front gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of some of the cars he had helped prepare for the event. Spent the first 40 minutes strolling around the paddock with him, admiring the competitors’ cars and I could hear the Time Attack cars thrashing round the track at some pace.
After going into the second paddock with the club stands I realised it was going to be a while before I seen any track action as there was so many other things to see before I got to that. I got snap-happy with the display cars then headed over the bridge down to Seat Curves to watch the drift cars come over Duffas dip, their tyres smoking and screeching all the way.
On the way to the Hairpin I bumped into Edith and Holly and their friend Vicky and was kindly offered a seat in Holly’s gleaming Skyline R33GTR. Some rolls we graciously accepted and wolfed down with a glass of Sprite… mmmmmm.
Once lunch was over with I continued on my trek, searching for good vantage points for photos. By the time I’d walked round the whole track and reached Scotsman corner it was time to watch the action-packed finals. They were appearing door to door, occasionally touching bumpers as they tried to make smoke and reach impossible angles of drift to earn the 10 points on offer for each run. The final was won by Tim Marshall in his V8 powered Skyline.
Basically as I had been up so early, now ran out of memory cards and was generally shattered, I left before the time attack finals but the results can be found on their website which I will add the link for tomorrow.
