Ken, imports are more than welcome to attend, as are non-Subaru's. Thought you would have been in for ths show and shine though
Track costs are being set by Knockhill, and I think it will be £50 per car. This is a bit cheaper than our own day on the 28th (£65), but it is being run in sessions with a limit of 80 cars (probably three sessions of 25 cars on track at the same time), so you get less track time, which is a bit more crowded. Still excellent value for money though
Group N car - obviously due to high demand, only a priviliged few will be able to experience the thrills. They aren't sure how to allocate passenger laps in this car yet, possibly a lottery/raffle type affair - more details closer to the date when they know how frequently they can run the car.
Good to see lots of positive responses so far

Whose's heading up from the Edinburgh area ??
Kartman is away on a works function (pi$$ up!!) and I'll feel a bit of a lemon there on my own ?
Would love to go - maybe I should leave the wagon at home and bring Kartmans P1 and get some track time - what he doesn't know won't hurt him!!!

Who else is going from Aberdeeen?? What time you setting off? Is it a 'just turn up' event John as long as you don't want to go on track?
Sorry for all the questions....
