The Perfect Introduction to Track Riding!
Take your first steps into the thrilling world of track riding with our exclusive Newcomers Track Session! Ride your own bike on our legendary circuit in a relaxed, supportive environment designed specifically for first-time and novice track riders.
We start the evening with an extended track briefing, covering everything you need to know—from track etiquette to riding techniques—so you’ll feel confident and ready before heading out. Our friendly team will also be on hand in the pit lane and on track throughout the night, offering guidance, tips, and plenty of encouragement.
Uninterrupted track time—the circuit is live from 6pm to 8pm with no scheduled breaks, giving you the freedom to ride at your own pace, whenever you like, and for as long as you choose.
With a limited group of just 30 riders, this event ensures a safe, beginner-friendly experience, complete with hands-on pit lane support and dedicated track instructors.
⚠️ Please note: This event is exclusively for new track riders. If you're an experienced track rider or have taken part in more than 3 trackdays already, check out our other track day options!
Your safety on track is our top priority, and having the right gear is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience.
All equipment must be in good condition and fit for purpose. Our team will carry out safety checks and reserves the right to deny track access if any equipment does not meet the required standards.
For those wanting to record their experience, all filming equipment must be securely mounted to the motorcycle using a purpose-designed bracket. Cameras or brackets are NOT permitted on the helmet, rider’s body, leathers, or motorcycle tank.
By following these requirements, you’ll be fully prepared for a safe, fun, and memorable visit to Knockhill.
To take part in a trackday, all riders must hold a valid licence and comply with the relevant regulations:
Riders under 17 are not eligible for trackdays.
✅ DVLA Road Licence – You must have a full, unrestricted Category A motorcycle licence (A2 licences are not accepted). Your licence must be valid and issued by the DVLA or the equivalent licensing authority if you’re from outside the UK.
🚫 No Licence = No Track Riding– You must bring your licence on the day so our team can check it before you head out on track.
📅 Need to Change Your Date?
You can reschedule once to a new date if you provide at least 3 full days’ notice by phone.

Any motorcycle over 400cc can be used on a trackday, but it must meet the following standards:
Road Bikes – Must conform to MOT minimum standards for road use.
Track & Race Bikes – Should comply with the safety regulations set by the governing body.
General Condition – All bikes must be well-maintained, safe, and suitable for track use. It’s your responsibility to ensure your motorcycle remains in this condition for the entire event.
Rear Brake Light – If your bike has one, it must be in full working order.
Check your bike before arriving to make sure it’s ready for the start of your tracktime.
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 ride two? Start your day riding 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!
