This should appeal to anyone who is interested in getting started in Motor Racing in Scotland. If you have watched trackside and thought - I could do that. Or if you take part in track days and want to know how to take the next step and go racing. If you would like to know about getting started in Karting or if you have been competing in Karting and want to know – what’s next?

The evening will cover the following topics

Getting Started
Karting - Saltire Motorsport
Knockhill Racing Circuit
ARDS and Licence information
Driver Coaching/Mentoring
Networking
Sponsorship

I've got to be honest i didnt know what to expect but there was a lot to see in the confines of the local BMW dealer who had cleared half their dealership out to accommodate a wide variety of Race Cars from the Z4GT3 Ecurie Ecosse Car through the Ecurie Ecosse Jag , a Chevrolet BTCC Car and  a large selection of club level cars.

I spoke to one of the drivers of the GT3 Z4 who told me the car probably has the most downforce in its class but struggles a little against the 458s down the straights but the car is excellent in the wet. the engine is bored our E9X M3 V8 . I told him we would follow next years progress -longer term goal is a Le Mans entry .

I had a long chat with the guy who is compering in an S54 CSL engined E36 M3 ,  , the E36  is being sponsored by the local sunday morning meet up for petrol heads - Fennel 

I really liked this MX-5 Roadster that you can obtain for about 5k race prepared for a season - which got me thinking i must admit .

In the rest of the showroom there was a 1M, M3 and two M5s - i must admit i really liked the silverstone M5 -lovely car
