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!

Just a quick word of thanks and to say how good an instructor and really nice guy Mikey is. Knockhill really never disappoints my wife and son were up at the SLS event at Easter and they too had a great time and all the staff were so good at keeping an 8 year old entertained. Today was great, thank you and please pass my thanks to Mikey too.

I was lucky to have the Ferrari and Honda Type R driving experience as a Christmas present. As a relatively conservative driver this would be a slightly nerve racking experience, however my worries were unfounded. The process was to have five laps experience on the Type R before driving the Ferrari, must say the driving experience was fantastic and the instructors were very patient and informative and my confidence was increasing after every lap and the speeds got faster and faster round the twisty circuit, the feeling was fantastic. The Ferrari was a great drive and very addictive. One regret is that I had a big breakfast prior to the drive and due to the high speed cornering I was lucky not to make a mess of the Ferrari interior. All in all it is great to see how fast a car can go around corners and have so much fun and still feel safe. Thanks to instructor Craig. P.s. The site cafe is very good...

My wife booked this for me, the staff and instructors were first class. After the safety briefing we went down to get the safety gear and the cars, I was a bit nervous, then excited and at the end I knew that that was one of the best adrenaline rushes I've had in a long time. Big thanks to all the staff.

I had a rally experience here. The staff are first class and really encouraging. I also highly recommend purchasing the additional laps with Bob Watson, former Scottish champion. It's a hoot. And handbrake turns ....
