Hi, long-term lurker here putting my head above the parapet for the first time.

Was hoping some folk might know if there's likely to be anything exotic on track at Knockhill over the coming months. I've been to a Porsche/Lamborghini owners track day years ago and there's been appearances of an A1GP car and ex-Barrichello Ferrari in the past. The Motorfair was good but seems to have died off.

Beyond the SMRC meetings, Touring Cars and hot hatch events are there Ferrari/Porsche/Lamborghini etc owners club meets scheduled and where would I find out about them?

Thanks

There is a guy in a yellow Cayman and a green GT3 often out. Some of the worst driving I've witnessed. To be fair you'd have to be suicidal to be in the paddock with him let alone on track.

I do believe I have passed Matt in his GT3 on track both in an old E46 M3 and in the RS. I've also witnessed him cutting the grass at the hairpin on more than one ocassion.

Spent a good bit of last weekend around Matt in the GT3, very sedate driving with his lady passenger onboard.

Can anyone come along to the trackday on the 9th, just to watch? I know you're okay to do so at normal Knockhill trackdays, but I thought I'd make sure before I make the drive down from Aberdeen.

Was a great day, some really cool stuff on display. The blue 991 GT3 looked to be very well driven too!
