Formula Race Car
Experience
The ultimate way to experience the dramatic dips and climbs of our international race circuit is from the driving seat of a Formula Race Car. The driving position may feel new and slightly unfamiliar but boy... the view is amazing!
Get set for an adventure as you take control, quickly acclimatising to the cambers and vibrations you feel from the track and responsiveness of your race car. Each lap will become smoother and quicker as your confidence builds and you race off in search of the chequered flag.

Your Formula Race Car Experience
You will be buzzing with excitement as you climb into your very own Formula Race Car. Learn the best racing technique at the wheel of Top Gear’s Sports Car of the year, the stunning Alpine A110 rear wheel drive sports car. Next, it’s your turn to sit back and relax as our talented instructors take the wheel for your demonstration drive, pay attention as you will soon be racing around the track just inches from our international circuit as you take control of a Formula Racing Car. These cars are quick, slick and deliver an awesome driving experience.
Formula Race Car
The excitement begins as you climb into the cockpit of the Formula Race Car and take a seat just inches above the tarmac. With a light body, the power to weight ratio is awesome. A long wheel base offers stable cornering in all weathers; the 1.8 litre, 16 valve mid-engine allows for speeds in excess of 100 mph.
Alpine A110 Sports Car
We're thrilled to introduce you to this multi award-winning sports car - the Alpine A110. Made by the historic French sportscar manufacturer Alpine, this car is loved by everyone who gets behind the wheel. It's fast, agile, and perfect for the twists and turns of Knockhill's iconic racing circuit. In fact, Top Gear awarded the Alpine A110 both ‘Performance Car of the Year’ and ‘Sports Car of the Year’, calling it "One of the best sports cars ever made." We couldn't agree more! This seriously quick car is a real driver's car, and we know you'll love it as much as we do.
The Track
Knockhill Racing Circuit is Scotland’s only approved Motorsport UK and FIA Internationally graded Circuit and is famous for hosting major televised motorsport events such as the British Touring Car and the British Superbike Championships.
A demanding road-circuit style track, 1.27 miles (2km) long, and 30 feet (10 m) wide, with a dramatic series of twists, turns, drops and climbs, varying by around 200 feet (60m) from highest to lowest point. Drive on the same International Circuit as driven by Jackie Stewart, Stirling Moss, David Coulthard, Lewis Hamilton, Paul Di Resta and our very own BTCC Stars Gordon Shedden and Rory Butcher.
WHAT OUR CUSTOMER'S SAY
-
"Single seater track experience day was fantastic. Great instruction and pedal to the metal!"
Google Review - Brian Sherry September, 2019 -
"My husband did the single seater racing car experience which he loved. His instructor Logan for the practice laps in the Honda Civic was excellent and so was Graham who talked through all the car controls and got him safely strapped in to the car. He had a great time. Now he wants to return to do the rally car experience!!"

"Had a single seater experience, great instructors and a good track to drive."
Andy June, 2023 -
"I was very surprised as to how normal the whole experience felt despite the extra measures in place. My instructor was spot on and very helpful and keen to ensure I had a good feel for the car. It was nice to feel that the instructor had confidence in my ability also. The formula car felt almost like a big go kart, was good fun to drive and get a feel for an entirely different vehicle than I'm used to driving. "
