    Knockhill will have a huge TV screen stationed at Real Radio Hairpin for the Touring Cars this Sunday. Text from an email just received:

    "BIG SCREEN TV INSTALLED

    Racing fans will be in for a TV treat at Knockhill Racing Circuit this weekend as the HiQ British Touring Car Drivers battle for valuable Championship Points. The Circuit will have a HUGE TV Screen installed at the Hairpin section of the Track. The TV will show live images from ITV4 so racing fans will have the best of both Worlds. Seeing the door banging action first hand and not missing any of the action at other sections of the Circuit. The screen was used at the British Superbikes last weekend and was an exceptional addition to the Knockhill Racing Experience"

    It's probably the same huge TV they had erected for the Superbikes last Sunday. I noticed it on Eurosport as the camera panned around the hairpin. Thought they would leave it up for the BTCC. Makes sense I guess.

    Does anyone know if they use the same guys for commentating the touring cars as they use for the SMRC meets?

    I think the regular guys still fill in the bits between the BTCC races.......thats what happened last sunday anyway at the superbikes
    Screen was OK but it meant that it was packed down at the hairpin stands
    I soooooooooooooooo want a KTM super duke after watching them race last Sunday.....almost sound as good as a 998, 998, 1098 Ducati....

    Sarah and I are going on Sunday. We have scored free tickets from her work. Includes paddock entry as well.

    What time does it all start on Sunday? Are NMS folks meeting up at any location?

    Don't think there's any meet-up plans. It's gonna be busy as **** so I doubt we'd all get standing together anyway.

    Besides, Neil & Lorna, Stephen & Alyson and Lenore & I will all be spread out around the circuit to get decent piccie coverage.
