Knockhill is the only circuit in the UK licenced to run in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions, offering riders two distinct track experiences, each with its own unique challenges and thrills.
The classic Knockhill experience! Exit the pitlane to your left and charge down to Duffus Dip, one of the most notorious corners in UK motorsport.
Same venue, new track! Enter the pitlane and turn right, where the final corner becomes the first, kicking off your session with a dive into the famous hairpin.
Why settle for one track when you can drive two? Start your day driving anti-clockwise, break for a relaxing lunch, then hit the track again in the familiar clockwise formation for a completely different experience, all in the same day!
