The MG Car Club’s MG Trophy Championship will field their biggest ever grid at Knockhill for their races at the Super Lap Scotland event on the 8/9th July.
Trophy co-ordinator Pete Macwaters said “We race at Knockhill as often as we can as a thanks to our four Scottish drivers who regularly travel hundreds of miles every year to race in England. With this being my last year as co-ordinator it’s great to be taking close to 30 cars to Knockhill, we’ve raced there five times and this will be the most cars that have ever made the trip north.”
Both Trophy races will be sponsored by driver Colin Robertson (#87) in memory of his late father Stewart Robertson, Colin runs the Burnbrae Garage with his wife Karen in nearby Methven.
“Colin is our longest serving driver now in his 14th year in the championship and he has been a front runner again this year winning one of the races at MG Live in June and was runner up in the second race” concluded Macwaters.
The MGs will join a bumper weekend of action at Knockhill that will also see, Rounds 2/3 of Super Lap Scotland powered by Rockstar Energy Drink, Northern Sports and Saloon Car Racing and The Ssang Yong Challenge will make it’s debut (pick-up truck racing) around the tight twists and dips of Knockhill. Additionally, on Sunday 9th, we’ll also host a Subaru Vs Mitsubishi show car face-off in paddock two – with special exhibits, parades and demonstrations all part of the proposed timetable.
