The warm weather brought the crowds out in force at Knockhill for what was hailed as “the best” motorshows in recent years.

Organisers estimated that more than 15,000 people visited the racing circuit at the weekend for the Motorfair the Official Scottish Motorshow.

The large crowds were treated to events including Pedro De La Rosa’s Arrows F1 grand prix cars, stunt shows, the army’s Golden Lions parachute display team and supercar track sessions.

Among the star attractions were the Alfa 8C and 8C Spider and Peter Vardy’s Mini cow called Hamish.

Knockhill event director Stuart Gray said, “It’s been brilliant and the weather has been great I would say it is the best motorshow in the last five years.

“We’ve had a bumper crowd to match the weather. The F1 cars were really on song.”

He added, “The main thing is that everybody had a good time, there was something for everyone.

“Hopefully, people will think of it as a great spectacle.”

Jaclyn Strang, of the Abarth Arnold Clark dealership in Springburn, Glasgow, was equally excited.

She said, “It’s been absolutely fantastic and much better than we expected.

“It’s amazing how many people have turned out today and the weather has been great.”

Elaine Jones (25), of Dalgety Bay, said it was her first time at Knockhill and she was keen to go back.

She said, “It’s been brilliant you couldn’t ask for better weather.

“I was looking forward to seeing the F1 car and when I did it was out of this world.”
