Big MG Trophy grid expected for Knockhill

The MG Trophy Championship will be heading north to Knockhill for rounds 9 & 10 of the 2016 season on the 31st July.

21 cars are expected on the grid in Fife, Scotland – an impressive number considering the travelling distance for many of the drivers.

Trophy Co-ordinator Pete Macwaters said: “This will be our fourth visit to Scotland since I took over as Co-ordinator back in 2007, and it looks set to be the busiest trip to Knockhill so far. With 42 registered competitors, it’s great that half of the grid will be making it all the way up there.

“We have four Scottish drivers that regularly head south for all the MGCC meetings, so this is our way of saying thanks to them for their dedication and commitment.”

Local MG Trophy driver, Paul Luti, has organised a track night on the Friday, and the Championship has also arranged a track familiarisation session on the Saturday evening, which should give the drivers enough time to prepare for racing on Sunday 31st July.

Both races will be billed as ‘The Stewart Robertson Memorial Trophy’ in honour of Trophy stalwart Colin Robertson’s late father.
