Bizarre seeing Knockhill without fans; usually there most seasons; I’d normally be in a long queue to get out of a car park right now!

Weather looked ok too!!

No rain, apparently it wasn't warm - 12C ish is low even for Scotland in August.

Bushell dislocated his shoulder and damaged some ligaments in the Race 3 accident unfortunately.

Was a hard impact and after the first one.

I'm normally one of the media photographers at Knockhill, it was very weird watching it at home

I know; very “un-Knockhill” I think in about 10 years (not consecutively) of being there its been fully dry twice; the place just has its own micro-climate

Looked a bad one; although a bit unlucky to end up in the middle of the track

I was meant to be at the Rugby at Murrayfield on Friday night; that and then watching this has made me realise how surreal the last few months have been!

^^ Good spot. I was mega confused last time.

ITV have also secured the TV rights through to the end of 2026: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motorsport/itv-broadcast-btcc-until-end-2026

Cheers for that! Just reminded me to set it to record! Le Mans and BTCC this weekend \o/

Great to see the coverage going through to the end of 2026, ITV do a very good job of the BTCC and not sure we would see the same treatment of it elsewhere.
