Fancy a weekend up at Knockhill race circuit. :driver:
The forum is proud to be able to auction 2 full weekend entry, and VIP passes as a guest of the above BTCC race team, at knockhill on the 4th & 5th of September. :smiley:
These passes get you pit lane access, race car driver briefing and inside the pit viewing of the tec's and mechanics working and setting up the car pre-race. :party:

Both guests also get fed and watered all day long, including breakfast in the teams corporate set up behind the pit garage. :pomppomp:

I've watched the BTCC here a couple of years ago. What a bloody brilliant day that was and to win these passes would be fantastic. Just as much fun to watch were the legends, single seaters and I think there was even a porsche race but memories a little sketchy. Just a shame I work shifts and covering that weekend :sad1:. Shame as it'd be a good little blast up from brizzle!

agreed they are top notch hosts and having been to see the BTCC at Knockhill a couple of times its never short on

All your thanks need to go to the big cheese at Milltek, he has invested a big wedge in supporting this race team, and part of that investment is seeing genuine Mk 5 enthusiasts keenly following what they are doing. I believe Knock hill is one of the best circuits for viewing as well, and possible adverse weather conditions, can only add to the action.
Congratulations, and well done to both of you guys for bidding. :happy2:

The hill is a pretty good place to spectate!! I may have been a couple of times!!

You take some nice shots, scotta :notworthy:
'The Big Cheese' at Milltek (Phil Millington) is a genuine enthusiast, not just a businessman, he's a great host.

Yes, at the moment. But I know he's not greatly impressed by it.. Doesn't inspire him. In fact he may have already changed it.
