Re: 2026 SIDC events at Knockhill

I’ve just about warmed up now 😂

Glad everyone enjoyed the morning and it was great to catch up with a few of you in the pit lane and Kinnairds.

Hope to see another good SE turn out in June 😎

Apologies, Alan's glowing brakes video can be seen on the post and not the album, so you'll need to go to: https://www.facebook.com/FlatOutPhoto

Then scroll down a bit until you see the post for the track photos and expand the comments :)

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 14th June 2025 - 9-1

Thanks for the Kind words Campbell, and glad to hear you all enjoyed the day despite the worst weather for many years! Most of the red flags were for mechanical issues (white fiesta engine let go, black focus oil pump belt). One was to clear the track after someone ran wide at the chicane and dragge...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 29th March 2025

Yesterday was one of the best track days in a while, with a great turn out from Scottish Elises :) Not a single red flag during the whole 4 hour session. There were a few spinners of course, but the marshals opted to allow the cars plenty of time to self recover to avoid stopping the session. FB pho...

SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 29th March 2025

It's just gone live today: https://sidc.co.uk/store/product/96-knockhill-track-session-march-2025/ It's looking like there may only be 1 or two events I organise at Knockhill this year, as the track is booked solid at weekends throughout September and October. I'm waiting for some bike events to be ...

Re: SIDC at Knockhill - Saturday 14th of Sept, 9am to 1pm

Glad you enjoyed the day. I spent quite a bit of time sheltering in Kinnairds away from the cold drizzle nursing a latte or two :D I did take a few photos, and maybe even a slo-mo video of a silver Elise sliding out of the chicane which I'll post up at some point either today or tomorrow evening. L...

Re: Anyone got experience of lengthy car repairs?

Hi Tim, if my experience is anything to go by, it took about 3 months before they really started doing anything, and I even had a few phone calls with the lady. I was then asked twice to provide separate peices of information/documentaion that I had already provided on the initial submission. They a...

Re: Anyone got experience of lengthy car repairs?

Don't expect a quick response from the Ombudsman, as I've recently finished a case with them. My car was hit by another car in the rear whilst I was stationary. It too was stationary but rear ended by a van who didn't notice the traffic has stopped on a wet road... The damage to my car didn't look t...
