Bushell is doing Knockhill. It was announced as a 2 meeting deal.

Nic said in his post race interview that he may not be at Knockhill. About 50 minutes ago Team Hard posted on Facebook that although Ollie Brown was taken to hospital as a precaution as he may have spring ribs, the team were hopeful that both drivers will be at Knockhill.

"What a dramatic race that was for our boys. First and foremost Nic is absolutely fine just gutted about the result and the damage caused through no fault of his own.

Ollie has been taken to the local hospital for X-rays over suspected ‘sprung ribs’. Fingers crossed he is okay, we will update you as we have more information

Jack drove a great race to finish in P13 and was catching the cars in front before the red flag. A nice finish to a difficult weekend.

Carl gains 11 places in race 3 to bring home 2 points. Some good pace in the car after race ones troubles.

Final results:
JG ➡️ P13
CB ➡️ P14
NH ➡️ NC
OB ➡️ DNF

A quick turnaround for the team as we race against the clock to get Nic and Ollie out at Knockhill in just 5 days time.

Will they have to use the other car though? TH said it had sustained heavy damage in race 2.

Bushell was out in the car in race 3, so couldn't have been that much damage

porsche962fan · 23 Aug 2020, 18:59 (Ref:3997374)

wouldn't goldie boy be better off to make a deal with Team Parker to run his car ? and use same setups as Jelley (hich probbaly are mostly ex WSR anyway)

He only owns the car, I don't believe he owns the TBL as well.

Full extent of damage isn't always apparent until the car is stripped down.

AnnoyedMoose · 23 Aug 2020, 20:42 (Ref:3997439)

What damage? They had to replace a brake master cylinder as it failed going to the grid at the start of race 3 but the car was flying after a pitlane start. If it's got enough damage that it can't race at Knockhill I don't see how it would be running on the pace of the car that won the race.

**touringlegend** · 23 Aug 2020, 22:27 (Ref:3997516)

Interested to know for certain what teams arrangements are between Oulton and Knockhill. I’m positive David Addison said they had till midday Monday to vacate Oulton where they would travel to Knockhill set up then rebuild the cars before a Knockhill shakedown on Friday. Yet later Tim Harvey (I think) said one team would be staying at Oulton for a few days to re prep cars

Jon411 · 23 Aug 2020, 22:44 (Ref:3997519)

David Addison definitely said that (about being out of Oulton by midday tomorrow) earlier on in the day.

I'm sure Turks said he was off home after race 3 but WSR were staying on at Oulton to work on the cars before heading to Knockhill in time for Thursday

thetool · 23 Aug 2020, 22:50 (Ref:3997522)

It will depend on what the teams have paid for. TOCA will have agreed use of the site until a certain time, but after that if teams are willing to pay MSV for use of the garage facilities I'm sure they're happy to host them.

AnnoyedMoose · 24 Aug 2020, 07:48 (Ref:3997559)

They'll be ok today but then are three days of trackdays which usually include the garages.

Yes. Some of us are interested in the logistics of the sport too. Expands our understanding and knowledge of the series we enjoy. Also, someone, quite literally, posted "Interested to know for certain what teams arrangements are between Oulton and Knockhill."

So, yes. Some do.

And the fact that Turkington was asked about it in interview suggests that there is interest from those commentating on the sport.

S griffin · 24 Aug 2020, 11:53 (Ref:3997605)

Yep, the commentators saw it as important enough to mention. A bit of information in case anyone is interested, as no doubt some would otherwise wonder how they can find the time between Oulton and being on the road to sort some things out as they would do at base

**touringlegend** · 24 Aug 2020, 13:04 (Ref:3997629)

It appears it was Turkington that said it. Oliphant has posted a pic of the car being worked on in OPs scrutineering shed.

One team has bagged the scrutineering bay at Knockhill.
