Honda Yuasa Racing stars Matt Neal and Gordon ‘Flash’ Shedden will be in Scotland this weekend as their quest for the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship continues.
Flash also believes the nature of the circuit means it is worth fans making the trip north.
“Knockhill is probably the polar opposite to Snetterton – the scene of the last BTCC round – in terms of the length of track and the undulations,” he added. “It always provides spectacular racing and it’s great for the fans to see the cars bouncing over the kerbs and the drivers really having to work.
“It’s an absolute rollercoaster and is a tricky circuit to learn – it’s not as simple as it looks.”
Some of Honda Yuasa’s rivals have been handed a turbo boost reduction since the last round and Matt hopes the Civics will again prove competitive.
“We’ve had the boost work more in our favour this time, but we’re still carrying a lot of weight – thanks to the BTCC’s success ballast system”, said Matt. “Knockhill is a handling circuit, but it also has two long straights.
“I think both the MGs will be very fast, as well as the BMWs, and Flash is always very quick at Knockhill. Andy Jordan has also been fast everywhere this year and I don’t see why this weekend will be any different.”
