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.

The Race Track

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.

Great facilities, great friendly staff Attended the BTCC for the weekend. Camped, and the facilities provided were good. Stayed with kids and they loved it and already asking to go again next year! Office staff are fantastic and friendly! I messed up with tickets and they sorted it all without any fuss. I’ve also been for driving experiences and they’re great and make you feel so welcome and make sure you have a great time regardless of your ability.

An old-school circuit aimed at everyday fans. You can walk the loop around the circuit, and there is general access viewing from what feels like 95% of the walk around the circuit. There is also general access to the infield. For the BTCC this year there were plenty of food and drink vendors scattered around the circuit.

A great place to visit. Plenty of stuff to see, from track experiences to full on racing, with cars and bikes.

Great little circuit. Good spectator facilities and loads of view points. Even the weather was kind to us today for the main BTCC event here. Well marshalled and getting out afterwards wasn't too painful either. Even better this year, scorching hot day, great racing and very well organised. Plenty of food & drink outlets too. Took our time walking back to the car but then only took 5mins to get away from the circuit. Very well done to the Knockhill team for a great day out.

Knockhill - A Must Go!!! Family - Attended British Superbikes. First time at Knockhill, definitely be back for all racing! Easy to park and plenty of it. Superb facilities, from viewing, to toilets, to merchandising, to food - all first class. Decent viewing all around the track and up close to the track in many of those areas. My 13yr old also did the karting and LOVED it!!!!! Be back soon??
