Well done Superside for putting the dates up even if unconfirmed it still helps.

Good to see that Knockhill is provisionally included and hopefully the homologation will be sorted!
I wonder if the Jock Taylor will be that weekend as well, because a couple of years ago I was chatting to Stuart Gray from Knockhill and with Carsten Saur and Bernd Schwan we were trying to sort out a Superside round for last year but it didn't materialise!
It was briefly mentioned about possibly running the Jock Taylor race the same weekend... but it is probably up to Jock's family as to whether or not that can happen, but as Jock was World Champion, it would be fun to see people like Pekka Päivärinta taking part!

With respect keesytapper, have you been to Knockhill in the past couple of years because there have been quite a few improvements carried out to the circuit, including widening the track in several places, improved drainage and new garages, so it is probably much better than when you last were there! Perhaps some teams who have raced there recently will have some comments on this topic!

Kees,
Did you not fall out up there?? I wonder if thats why you dont like it!!
There's nothing wrong with Knockhill but I would say that as i'm biased!!
Superside did go to Brands Indy so anything is possible!!

If Superside goes to Knockhill I'll go up for the weekend to watch, it's a much better circuit than Brands Indy.

What is it you're looking for in a circuit Kees that Knockhill doesn't have? Just curious

Kew, I'm sure our Wally would also like to have a Superside round on his doorstep for a change!
