HIGHLIGHTS

 

• Hot Hatch Trackday - Join up to 150 other cars on track as you enjoy the thrills and spills of driving the Knockhill track - in your own car – in front of an enthusiastic audience.

• The format of Scottish Ford Live is a traditional show car / trackday type event with cars of all shapes and sizes both on track and lined up in the paddock for fans to see.

• The event is brought to Knockhill in association with the Central and East of Scotland RS Owners' Club who always turn out with some spectatular Ford machinery - both new and old. 

• Individual Clubs and private owners will face-off in the paddock for the best in class show awards with lots of time and effort put into presenting the Clubs and the individual cars on the day. 

• Aside from the paddock action, the on-track action will come thick and fast with a series of Car Trackday sessions operating throughout the day. We may even see some demonstration laps of special Ford machnery on the day and parade laps of Ford models are always a nice addition.

• It’s a great family day out for all Ford fans! If you ever had a Ford or own a Ford, this event is for you! It’s very much like a time warp as you stroll along the rows and rows of some of the most iconic cars the planet has ever seen, such as MK1 and II Escorts, RS2000s and Sierra Cosworth RS500s

• It really is paradise for Ford fans as they get to celebrate their favourite manufacturer with like-minded people.
