Looks set to be overcast for race day, but there could be showers and rain for qualifying

Red flag in quali for someone knocking a Dunlop sign onto the track.

Red flag for the signage at the chicane being down again.

Ridiculous really.

Plato on pole...

Quite an exciting session. Don't need any of that knockout bullshit.

Plato didn't go to the weighbridge when called.

And under investigation for the yellows at the end.

And he's STILL bitching about his car. Just fucking retire already.

I assume they've increased the boost levels in his favour then

I'll be at the track early tomorrow, so I'll give updates before the ITV show kicks in as well as the weather situation. Still predicting it to be overcast which may mean a bit of rain at somepoint.

@

kart99, here's a cheat sheet for weather forecasting at Knockhill:

That's the most well known method of telling the weather at Knockhill and is usually pretty accurate. There also hasn't been a wet race at knockhill since 2006. I'm expecting some.

Apparently a few of the drivers went down to Lochelly raceway for some oval racing tonight



It would've been helpful to know who was in what car, but hopefully there'll be more on this in tomorrow's preview.
Willing to bet Ant Worton-Eales was one of them too

Here's the event meeting preview to prove it happened anyway

At the track. It's basking in early morning sunshine and the place is jumping already. No sign of rain or clouds in general however, it is very windy. I'll update when the racing gets underway about 945am

Juniors on track for their first race of the day. Very sunny but quite cold and there are clouds building now

Harry King wins race 1. Pretty entertaining this one

Decent grid of f4's. About 20

One car already in the gravel on the warm up lap
