This weekend at Knockhill will see the 2017 Super Lap Scotland Championship come to a dramatic conclusion on Sunday 17th September. The event will also feature our Paul Walker Tribute event that will see up to 400 cars on show – all competing in a number of Show ‘n’ Shine categories – sponsored by Autosmart.
The main action on the day will come from our Super Lap Scotland Championship as the seven class championships draw to a dramatic conclusion. A number of the main classes see the leaders take an unassailable lead into the final round. Colin Dorward (Pro), John Stevenson (A), George Rigby (B), Ian Bonthrone (D) and Fraser Jamieson (E) look odds-on to secure the class wins for 2017. However, Class C title honors will be fought out between Blair McConachie and Keith Cowie. Whilst, Class F will see Neil Methven face-off with Martin Brown and Marshall Wishart for the 2017 Championship win.
The King of the Hill trophy on the other hand is a close fought battle between up to seven competitors with Pro Class driver Colin Dorward leading the way on 239 points. Aside from the King of the Hill Trophy, there is still the Team’s, Road Car and CSOC Renault Trophy to play for this weekend. Action for the SLS guys will get underway with a series of practice sessions before the first points-scoring session of the day – qualifying at 1.45pm. From there, we’ll move straight to the single-lap finals to find our 2017 Super Lap Scotland powered by Rockstar Energy Drink Champions.
Customary with our final SLS event of the year, we’ll be hosting another Paul Walker Tribute event that will see replica cars, movies, tribute boards, moments of noise and a track invasion take place to commemorate the life of the Hollywood icon. Additionally, we’ll once again be raising funds for Paul Walker’s own charity – Reach Out Worldwide. Amongst the plethora of metal on show – we’ll have American muscle cars, individual owners and some of the UK’s top Car Clubs all competing for a number of show ‘n’ shine trophies. This event, is now one of the largest of it’s kind in Scotland and will attract up to 400 of Scotland’s finest show cars to Knockhill this Sunday.
