I hope Jeff Smith has a good weekend in the Vauxhall. It is nice to see one extra car to make up for the four regulars not going.

Thats a fair point, must be sooo annyoing for the Knockhill spectators when drivers in alot of the championships dont make the trip up north!

Whos the four? I thought just the Forster BM's were missing?

The 2 Forster BMW's, Martin Johnson and Lea Wood

The Forsters and Boulevard are missing out because of damage and engine issues respectively and Wood misses knockhill cos his team boss (his brother) is on his honeymoon and also that they have run out of gearboxes.

Thanks Dazzla.

Not a great debut. If I was Dave Pinkney I would be furious. Smith's attempt at over-taking in race 3 was woeful.

It was a late move but he was well up the inside. Racing incident IMO, Smith culpable for making a late lunge and Pinkey for turning in on him.
