Great track day with perfect weather, friendly professional staff always there to help. I've been visiting Knockhill for a long time now and the improvements in infrastructure is a credit to the circuit’s staff and owners, every year there's something new going on. Get up there and enjoy some pure bike paradise.

I was initially booked to do this in November 2020 but had to cancel at the last minute due to COVID restrictions so the voucher expired. A full 6 months after the voucher had expired I logged in to try and use it and was delighted to find it had been extended free of charge. On the day I arrived and was given a wrist band and directed to a parking area. The instructor came to collect the drivers from their cars and at no time did we have to get together indoors as a group which was great given current issues with COVID. The instructor in the Honda Civic type r takes you round the track twice showing you the racing lines and you then swap and drive 4 laps with him giving more tips and advice. After that it’s on to the legends cars, the first session is driven with a bolt in the accelerator pedal to restrict the revs and if you keep it on track you can have this taken out for the remaining sessions. The car was fantastic especially unrestricted and the whole visit was great fun. I don’t remember the staff members name who helped us at the legends cars but he was brilliant, very friendly and put your mind at ease while still getting over the required safety advice. Thanks knockhill and hopefully be back soon!

Highly recommend Teen 1 and Teen 2. It has given my son confidence in his driving. Instructors are so friendly and provide lots of positive feedback. Particular thanks to Richard and Nick who were my son's instructors - he really enjoyed it. Highly recommend.
