Had a great day at the event which marked a milestone for Scottish motorsport as Knockhill’s Bike Festival celebrated its 50th anniversary. One of the highlights of the festival was the presence of many Scottish champions from over the years, with some of their bikes. Held over two days, I missed the first day which by all accounts was spoilt a little by the weather. Even so, I would have liked to watched the 50 lap endurance race which took place on the Saturday. Day two was dry and featured some close racing, in particular the sidecars.
During the midday break, the track walk proved to be a popular and enjoyable activity. It offered a unique opportunity to experience the circuit from a rider’s perspective. Notably, some of the cambers appeared quite different when viewed compared to the spectator viewing areas. Additionally, walking the track highlighted the steepness of certain sections, providing valuable insights into the challenges faced by riders.
