Love the footage from the car! Very well documented and loved the commentary as always! Also nice lines through all the corners. That chicane at the top of that hill looks like fun!
Hi, Annie thank you for sharing your experience at Knockhill. It is 11:43 PM here in Minnesota and after watching your video I am sitting with a big stupid grin on my face. Your excitement and enthusiasm really provide the joy of motorsports. One of the things I like about tracks in your part of the world is the feeling that you are going somewhere VS just doing laps. My fear is that we fellow iRacers have lost you to the call of the world of motorsports. Keep up the good work.
Great job Annie! The rush must have been amazing. Can hear it in your voice. I hope to do a similar day here in cali. Looked so fun. Repeat soon and maybe a fire suit will be your new wardrobe! Thanks for sharing.
I've done the racecar experience at Knockhill in these too, great fun. Shame the top speed is limited. Also did the super day there a few months ago... drove 458, Vanquish, GTR, Gallardo.
Looks like you had a great time, typical Knockhill weather. I've been waiting for my Legends experience all year. Hopefully I'll get booked in over the next couple of weeks.
Looked a super day out and no auto paddle gears then - very jelly, I’m too old these days but would love to do a real gte or something - I did do a racing day at Silverstone in saloon cars back in the day. Well done 👍
Glad you got to have this experience and enjoyed it so much. Really wish this track was on iRacing. I enjoyed it so much on Project Cars 2. I thought I had heard or read it was in their pipeline or plans so hopefully one day.
Man that looked awesome. I've had track time but not in cars like that so I can't tell you how jealous I am. What was interesting to me is how they used the cones to put you on the correct racing line, particularly for the esses and the late apex on the hairpin. Was that all explained in the briefing? What was the training part like?
Aye, the cones are there for just that exact reason! Blue cones where for breaking points and where to aim the nose. They 1st take you out in the Honda type R with your instructor. He does a couple of laps and explain everything. Then you swap and you go out for 4 laps so that he can assess if you are good to go for the Formula car. Unfortunately the onboard footage for the instructional session didn’t work. They are very thorough and the instructors are brilliant!
Ronan, to be honest, I don’t know. They just call it a Formula car. I should have most probably asked 🙈. If you are ever in Scotland, I can highly recommend Knockhill
Congrats on getting to drive a real Racing Car 🏎️ . Annie your heart most have been beating a Mile a minute and if not Your not living. I'm very jealous of you for doing that and God l would love to do that just once.🙂👍🏳️🏁
@@AnnieRabbets Oh wow - nice one :) Used to go to Knockhill for the BTCC and a few trackdays when I had a Mitsubishi FTO and then a Subaru! Good fun but I'm too scared to push it! :D
I’m sorry adakar, I’m confused... this is a real car on a real track, it’s not a sim and it doesn’t have anything to do with my choice of sim.I love iRacing and especially the community around it, not sure if it’s over rated or not, I love it

Thank you Lionheart! It was great fun. The top chicane is fun but my favourite part was definitely the downhill T1 😉

Thank you Tom! Real racing is great fun, but not something I can/will do... I’m too old now 🤣😉
I got so pumped watching this video! Glad you got a chance to experience this.
It was brilliant JGott!! Highly recommended!
Snail Racing
I live in the states (San Antonio, TX to be exact) where people love to race in a straight line vs going through an apex. 😫
wow this looks like so much fun, I immediately googled it to find something like this near me lol incredible!
Very cool Annie , good job
REAL CAR on a REAL TRACK!!! That's awesome!! I bet it was so fun!!
It was great fun! Can’t wait to do it again 😉
Great job Annie! The rush must have been amazing. Can hear it in your voice. I hope to do a similar day here in cali. Looked so fun. Repeat soon and maybe a fire suit will be your new wardrobe! Thanks for sharing.
The adrenaline was hectic. I should have put the heart monitor on. It’s definitely an experience I can recommend!
Oh wow this looked so much fun, Really glad you got to do it, Awesome video 😍😍👍
Thank you Franky! It was sooo much fun!
I've done the racecar experience at Knockhill in these too, great fun. Shame the top speed is limited. Also did the super day there a few months ago... drove 458, Vanquish, GTR, Gallardo.
That's sound brilliant, I will do more racecar experiences in the future. I absolutely loved it.
@@AnnieRabbets a Ferrari 458 on a wet track is a handful! Fun though.
This was awesome Annie!!🎉😍👌
Really cool driving something like this irl and Knockhill is such a cool little track!👍
Thank you R-VR! It was brilliant and the track is great!
This looks like a lot of fun. I am from Scotland and have never tried anything like this before! Will have to change that!
It was an absolute fantastic experience. I can definitely recommend trying it!
Looks like you had a great time, typical Knockhill weather. I've been waiting for my Legends experience all year. Hopefully I'll get booked in over the next couple of weeks.
It was absolutely fantastic. Those Legends look like good fun too! Please let me know how your experience goes...
We need an iRacing Subs Session there. I'll be up for that!! Awesome AR!
Now that is a great idea! We should maybe start planning for something next spring/summer?
Way to go Annie :) Looks like a lot of fun
Was sooo much fun Craig. You should definitely go and do it 😉
@@AnnieRabbets lol I'd have to learn to drive first :)
🤣😉 Thats my subtle way of telling ye to get it done!
Oh what a thrill this must have been! When heading out you had to have had some butterflies.
O yes, loads of butterflies. I was concentrating so hard not to hit the pit wall when I exited 🤣
Looked a super day out and no auto paddle gears then - very jelly, I’m too old these days but would love to do a real gte or something - I did do a racing day at Silverstone in saloon cars back in the day. Well done 👍
Thank you Lone! It was a fantastic experience and will definitely do it again. You are never too old 😉
I'm so jealous
This looks so fun
Wish we had Knockhill in iracing
It was great fun! I can highly recommend it 😉
next time we need to hear the “ heel and toe” !!! 👍
Herl and toe!! Heel and toe!! 😉🤣
Glad you got to have this experience and enjoyed it so much. Really wish this track was on iRacing. I enjoyed it so much on Project Cars 2. I thought I had heard or read it was in their pipeline or plans so hopefully one day.
It was brilliant! Had so much fun. Let’s hope it will appear on iRacing soon 🤞
The track was being scanned last week for iracing 😉
Great video! I did it in 1994 and got red flagged!!
Thank you Hugh! O no! Why the red flag?

Very cool , also I went & looked up the pricing , seems rather affordable.
It is Donald and definitely worth the money! The folks at Knockhill are brilliant! Very patient, helpful and most importantly, very safe 😉
You can have a go on sim now!
Well done sister, envy you 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️👍🏻
Thank you G M! Have you done anything like this before?
Snail Racing yes i did on Zandvoort with a F3 car as i come from Karting, but that was years ago.
Still got my Kart but no time.
Gwenndolynn
O wow, F3!!!! That must have been amazing?!
@@AnnieRabbets that was a racegasm,....*blush*
Gwenndolynn
Pretty cool to see. what type of car is that a ff2000? I’m Irish and I want to test a single seater at some point this year.
Ronan, to be honest, I don’t know. They just call it a Formula car. I should have most probably asked 🙈. If you are ever in Scotland, I can highly recommend Knockhill
They used to be a single make series car, formula Palmer audi. Van Diemen chassis, vag 1.8 litre engine, normally aspirated.
How well do you think Iracing translates? Nice video
Hey Wade, nothing will beat real life but I can say, that if it wasn’t for iRacing, I wouldn’t have had a clue what my instructor was talking about 🤣🙈
Congrats on getting to drive a real Racing Car 🏎️ . Annie your heart most have been beating a Mile a minute and if not Your not living. I'm very jealous of you for doing that and God l would love to do that just once.🙂👍🏳️🏁
My heart was definitely racing as well!! I should have put on the heart monitor. You can do it as well!
Welcome to our lovely, but wet, country :)
It’s a beautiful country and one I’m lucky enough to call home now 😉
@@AnnieRabbets Oh wow - nice one :)
Used to go to Knockhill for the BTCC and a few trackdays when I had a Mitsubishi FTO and then a Subaru! Good fun but I'm too scared to push it! :D
Lol, that wasn't wet for Knockhill, you can stil see the hill.
🤣 Very true!!
This is why You should drive in other sims to learn other tracks. iR is overrated in all areas
I’m sorry adakar, I’m confused... this is a real car on a real track, it’s not a sim and it doesn’t have anything to do with my choice of sim.I love iRacing and especially the community around it, not sure if it’s over rated or not, I love it
Why can't tomatoes win races against lettuce? ....?? Because the lettuce are always a head and the tomatoes are always trying to ketchup!
