johns Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Hi all, as many of you know, the SIDC have a track day organised for Knockhill on Saturday 6th September from 9am to 1pm. We've just this minute been contacted by a filming crew on behalf of Subaru who want to come and film the event, talk to owners about their cars etc. and hopefully film a few on track. The audience will of course be worldwide :-) It would be great to have a good turn out of cars there, even for a static display, as well as the chance to go out as as passenger (free of charge). John
mctwistuk Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 That sounds like a cracking opportunity john. I will check with the good lady and hopefully make it along. Chris
thebigfelly Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Lol maybe better posting this on favrbook and sharing for folk
johns Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 I'll post on facebook once we get 100% confirmation about the film crew Will also get Knockhill to do some publicity also!
mctwistuk Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 John, Is this restricted to Sidc members only? Chris
scottishtaffy Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 i would be up for this too. how do i register / put my name down?
scottishtaffy Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 think i will take a trek down. wont be going on the track tho as need it mapped first and the coilys fitted to get the best out of a track day but will come down for a look see and find out whats involved for when mine is finally ready to do a track day
The Don Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 John, Is this restricted to Sidc members only? Chris i would be up for this too. how do i register / put my name down? SIDC organised (johns) track days are posted on the website with "places" available for purchase by members and non-members from the shop. Slots for the 6th are now sold out
mctwistuk Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Cheers don. With there being few active members in the scottish section and this being a great opportunity for the Subaru owners in Scotland I wondered if people from other clubs would have been able to turn up for this to bolster up the number of scoobs for the camera shoot. Last thing we want is a couple of scoobs turning up. We will be heading up for this to show support?
scottishtaffy Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 how much to just come down and have a look. do they charge for entry?
johns Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 Quick update - the track day is still going ahead as planned, and the weather is looking reasonable for this time of year However, due to "unforseen circumstances", the filming crew have had to cancel their trip north to film the event and interview people. Hopefully be back up next year for one of our track events.
scottishtaffy Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 due to spending fuel money on a esl for my ra i wont be able to make it. tho its sacreficed for a good reason. now i have found and managed to buy an esl i can finally get mine mapped . whoop whoop. so hopefully get down to the next track day and get some track time .
mctwistuk Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Cracking wee morning up at knockhill today. Only a couple of scoobs in track but still loads of action and a few spins. Hopefully the guy in the red evo's gets his engine sorted soon but at least it gives a good excuse to forge it. Photos are on my Facebook page. Well done john for organising another great day. Chris
AliM Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Been a while since I have been on here but thanks to John for running another well run day - great job. Done a few SIDC days over the years although never in an Impreza (as has been a few years since my last one) and was out in the M3. Apologies for the red flag just at the end - I lost it coming out of the hairpin and beached the car (no damage though) Hope all cars got away relatively unscathed. Cheers, Ali Edited September 6, 2014 by AliM
mctwistuk Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 What colour is your car as I will no doubt have photos of it in the 300 or so I took lol

AliM Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Hi Chris, It is a silver grey E46 M3 (M33AGD) - It would be great to see any pics you got.
