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.

Single seater track experience day was fantastic. Great instruction and pedal to the metal!

Called up for a short notice go-Karting session for my niece and nephew. Was very impressed with the arrangements for kids in particular the safety element and friendly staff. Had a bite to eat in the cafe next to the track which was friendly and great service. Overall would highly recommend.

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...

Absolutely awesome experience today. Have been in love with Aston Martins when I was 10 years old( over 50 years ago!!). To have the privilege of driving this beautiful beast round the circuit was awesome. Thank you especially to Craig , my instuctor..he was brilliant. And thank you for your comments Craig. Hope I did well. Will be back. Maybe have the confidence to increase the speed next time!!!
