Scottish Championship Car Racing returns to Knockhill this weekend (Sunday 13th September); with single-seat Formula Ford Racing set to take centre-stage; with up to 26 of the UK’s top racing talent aiming to claim a trio of FF race wins; alongside the coveted David Leslie Trophy for the winner of the final race of the weekend.
Eleven BRSCC National Formula Ford racers will swell the ranks of the Scottish Formula Ford contingent this weekend, as the nationally orchestrated Championship makes its one and only visit to Scotland this year. It will be the biggest Formula Ford grid we have seen at Knockhill for a number of years, and promises some spectacular action with some of the National competitors already up-to-speed with the track following guest-entries at the August round.
Indeed, Canadian professional racing driver, Patrick Dussault would have been extremely pleased with his racing debut at Knockhill, after piloting his Cliff Dempsey racing machine to a 3rd place podium in only his first ever race meeting at the Scottish track. This time however, Dussault will be joined by racing brothers David and Tom McArthur, Irish Formula Ford racer Jonny McMullan and a host of others. That said, the leading trio of Scots racers – Adam MacKay (Championship leader), Neil MacLennan and Jordan Gronkowski – will hoping to make the most of home-advantage on a track they know so well. And for Gronkowski, he’ll be hoping to emulate his 2013 David Leslie Trophy success after losing out in 2014 to MacKay’s Ecurie Ecosse stable-mate Ciaran Haggerty.
