No suprise in GTO, other than the margins. Gettin Boring allready. "Wonder how far the moslers will be ahead ?!?)

Great in GT Cup (sorry SPEEDY7), nice to see variation in the grid. VW did better than I expected, quicker than the uprated Clio.

Hopefully the CDL car will be on the grid tomorrow!

Its another 1-2 win for Mosler led by the Balfe/Derbyshire combination.

Congratulations... but it's getting boring !?! Hello Shorty Schumacher... it seems that the Moslers are the car to have to be on top of the podium this season... mhh.

Very enjoyable days spectating, loads of action in the GT and F3 races ;-)

I notice from the added comments to the GT Championship press release on Piston Heads that someone thinks that it was a boring forgone conclusion that the Moslers won at Knockhill.

This is obviously despite the fact that the actual racing in both races was superb! The drive by Tom Herridge back through the field in race two was brilliant and the battle between the TVR's throughout both races, especially Shane on a charge back from the rear of the grid, was fantastic.

Makes a difference if you were actually there, I guess.

The race back through the field (from 9th) just demonstrated the sheer dominance of the Moslers. Nothing (except the other Mosler) held him up for more than a few corners.
Shane Lynch's charge, however, was pretty hot - back of the grid to 3rd. The GT Cup battle between the Proche and the Morgan was pretty good too.

Yup. Most 'amusing' moment was the Scottish Mini Cooper Challenge presentation - by Nelson Piquet... the winner will have a photo to treasure. Other amusing moment was Nelson Piquet Jnr. in the F3, having won the race, go a bit 'enthusiastic' on his in lap at the hairpin, lost the back end one way, caught it, lost it the other way, failed to recover, and ended up on the grass, and had to walk back up the hill to the pit lane and podium

True, unfortunately I wasn't there. The "boring" comment was meant in a funny sense. Of course I like to see the Moslers on top.
