If you’ve never taken your car on track before, or have attended three or fewer trackdays and want to build confidence, this Newcomers Car Track Night is designed just for you!
We know that your first track experience can feel daunting, which is why this exclusive session has fewer cars on track, giving you more space to find your rhythm and get comfortable behind the wheel. Our friendly and experienced team will be on hand throughout the evening to offer hints, tips, and guidance, helping you make the most of your track time.
Before heading out, you’ll take part in a relaxed classroom chat, where we’ll cover track driving basics, safety, and etiquette, so you’ll feel fully prepared. Then, it’s time to drive! With an open session format, you can take to the circuit whenever you’re ready between 6pm and 8pm, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable.
Your safety on track is our top priority, and having the right gear is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience.

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!
