About Us

Where It All Began

50 years ago, on the 22nd of September 1974, the motorcycle racing scene changed forever with the opening of Knockhill Racing Circuit. The dream of Tom Kinnaird became a reality as Knockhill hosted its first event, a bike meeting.

Fast forward 50 years, and we are hosting a special 50th Birthday party to celebrate our 50th anniversary with a multi-discipline bike festival that will feature bike sport both on and off track, our REWIND FESTIVAL for bikes from the 70's, 80's and 90's, Sidecar racing, endurance races and so much more.
