British Touring Car Championship – Knockhill pics online

<![CDATA[My pics from the Knockhill round of the 2006 BTCC are now online. Weather on the day was the usual Knockhill unpredictable mix – showers, blue skies, heavy downpours and just enough sun to give you sun burn. There was a couple of tornados too – the military jet kind. We found ourselves in aContinue reading “British Touring Car Championship – Knockhill pics online”
