INTERVIEWS: 30th anniversary of Touring Cars at Knockhill being celebrated this weekend

Thousands of motorsport fans are at Knockhill this weekend for the Fife circuit celebrating its 30th anniversary hosting the British Touring Car Championship.

The Touring Cars first came to the Kingdom in 1992, with this year being the first of the hybrid era.

Four Scots are in this year's Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, including Kirkcaldy's own Rory Butcher, as well as Gordon Shedden, Aiden Moffat and Dexter Patterson.

But it isn't just the Touring Cars that will take to the track in the next couple of days.

A variety of other motorsports are also taking place including the Quaife Mini Challenge.
