Summary

After their first event of the year back in June which saw the visiting Avon Tyres National Formula Ford championship join the spectacle to provide some fantastic racing, the SMRC racers are back for another afternoon of fun and entertainment on the Knockhill track. Gates open at 11am and the action on track will start with qualifying for each of the main racing classes from 12 noon.

Once the grids have been set, we’ll be into a frenetic race programme which will see 11 races completed over the course of the afternoon. Sit back at your favourite spot at Knockhill and watch as the 2021 SMRC racers fight tooth and nail for those podiums and race wins. It’s a thrilling day out at Knockhill for all the family as the action comes thick and fast on Knockhill’s 1.27 mile layout.

SMRC race days have always been great value for money with plenty of variety on circuit. As well as enjoying all the trills of qualifying, fans won’t have too long to wait for the action to kick-off on track. We’ll still manage to amass a great deal of fast-paced frenetic action into the newly revised 6 hour schedule.

Fans will still be able to watch the competing series from various locations around the track, and with compact grids the action should be as spectacular as ever as you take in the sights and sounds from Scotland’s National Motorsport Centre.

Due to the current Covid-19 guidelines, spectators attending this weekend's event cannot access the paddock. Therefore, spectator viewing will be from Duffus Dip all the way round the back of the circuit to the tiered banking immediately behind the hairpin. Food facilities will be provided on the main straight, opposite the Knockhill Skid/Karting Centre due to the closure of the paddock. Please also to remember to be courteous to your fellow spectators and give everyone enough personal space to enjoy the racing.

• The Scottish Classic Sports and Saloons Championship - Classic racing is very popular nowadays and the Classic Sports and Saloon competitors always put on a great show - whilst some of the machinery on show will take you back to the good old days... the racing is very much full-on and extremely competitive and often features classics from Porsche, MG, Lotus, Morgan and others.

• The Scottish C1 Cup - City car racing up and down the country is on the upsurge and the SMRC was one of the first clubs to introduce an introductory and cost-effective class for racers looking for a financially viable route into motorsport - the C1 Cup offers this and the racing is great fun to watch too.
