Ignition Festival Glasgow

Post by bjmullan »

Just back from a fantastic event which was held at the SECC in Glasgow. Our very own Kitten was at the head of the 911 evolution parade, although Margaret was on holiday so didn't get a chance to experience one of the best motoring events I've been at in Scotland. A track was constructed around the service/public road of the SECC and a huge variety of cars when around at very high speeds. Cars included a 962, McLaren P1, Lotus Judd F1, Williams F1 and David Coulthard in a RB7. As well as the high speeds there was much burning of rubber. In addition to the track action there was four halls full of cars.

Here's Kitten in the paddock area.

The Ferrari Owners club had a stand but didn't let people very near their cars unlike everyone else. This photo was taken before the show opened.

TIPEC Scotland was also on display but disappointingly near Porsche nor PCGB had a stand.
