ARDS stands for the Association of Racing Driver Schools. It is a Motorsport UK-recognised collection of race schools that train and test prospective competitors to ensure their suitability for holding a Motorsport UK competition licence.
It’s a good idea to complete a track day at your chosen ARDS venue before booking your test, although you can complete the test as a total novice, with most schools offering training packages for those who have never been on track before.

Say hello to the most powerful, fastest accelerating, front-wheel-drive car we’ve ever had the pleasure of at Knockhill. The Type R responds instantly to the driver, no hesitation. Underneath the sculpted bonnet lies a four-cylinder VTEC TURBO engine. It’s no surprise to discover this gives the Type R the ability to sprint from 0-62 mph in 5.8 seconds and achieve 169 mph top speed. Powering the Type R through the dramatic undulations of our famous racing circuit is exhilarating.

What a great way to spend an hour and a half! The rally driving experience was a blast and highly recommended. Everything went like clockwork and my rally instructor was brilliant. Way to go Denis.

Hi, I attended rally experience yesterday and my instructor was Dennis Hobbs. I just wanted to say Thank you to knockhill staff and especially Dennis, I had a fantastic time and the experience was made so much better by the quality of instruction from Dennis. I will be looking to do this again in the future and will recommend the rally experience to friends and family. Thanks again for a brilliant morning. John Harper 😀

Just a quick note to say thank you to all the staff at Knockhill for making me feel so welcome on Friday, it was a shame that the weather was bad but this did not detract from the enjoyment I took out of taking my MX5 around Knockhill. Can you please extend my appreciation to all the staff that were on site for making what could be quite a daunting experience for the ordinary punter into a relaxed fun day. I hope to return to Knockhill to perhaps repeat this course in better weather.
