The Knockhill TrackThe Knockhill Track

The Knockhill Track

Knockhill Racing Circuit is a thrilling 1.27-mile track, renowned for its adrenaline-pumping twists, turns, and dramatic 200-foot elevation changes. As Scotland's only FIA-graded circuit, it accommodates both car and bike racing in both directions, offering a truly unique motorsport experience. The challenging layout features tight corners, steep climbs, and technical descents, delivering an exhilarating ride for drivers and riders alike.

Knockhill has a rich history in British motorsport, hosting prestigious events like the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) and British Superbikes (BSB). Its reputation for being both challenging and rewarding makes it a favorite among racers.

Spectators enjoy panoramic views of the action, thanks to the track’s natural elevation. Whether you're behind the wheel or watching from the stands, Knockhill promises an unforgettable motorsport experience!

Overall my experience was exceptional for several reasons, I had a great time with the Aston, the four laps in the civic were amazing, and then the Aston with Craig finished off a great day. I opted to return to drive the Ferrari and this experience was just as good as the first, Chris and Craig gave excellent instruction, clear concise, just really good. Sorry that I don't remember the first young guy that took me found in the civic, he was slim with fair hair. Don't change a thing, you're doing an amazing job

My husband was given a voucher for the triple track experience for his Xmas so we had booked in for today. Weather wasn’t great but it didn’t spoil his experience at all! He got 10 laps in 3 different vehicle types and we were able to watch him either outside near the track or a viewing place from above. The staff were amazing and very friendly and let our 2 boys have a seat in one of the cars which made their day. There is an excellent cafe, Kinnairds, where you go before getting called to start your driving. Reasonable prices and lovely food and cakes. The link sausage roll was just what was needed on such a wet day!! Would highly recommend and we will definitely go back and would also buy a voucher for a special present for a friend or family!

My birthday treat was to take my car around Knockhill, what fun. Great day from start to finish and it all seems to be very well organised. Will try to come up and watch the professionals show how it is done.
