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.

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

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:

Spoiler:
1) If you cannot see the TV transmitter, it's raining.
2) If you can see the TV transmitter, it's going to rain soon.
3) If in doubt, refer to #1 & #2.

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 :p

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

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
