The Knockhill Go Karting Track
Our purpose built Karting Circuit is a 500m long by 9 metres wide Go Kart Track, enabling our Pro Karts to reach a top speed of 50mph. We run our Go Karting events using the latest technology in lap timing equipment, with the average lap time being about 37 seconds. Drivers receive a printout of their lap times from the timing system.
The circuit is fully floodlit allowing us to run events in the evening. Pre-booked events can run up to 9pm.
Our new Fleet of SODI karts, fuelled by LPG are quicker and handle so much better. Track rod and axle design enables these karts to corner much smoother and quicker. Powered by the same size engine
as the Biz karts (Honda 270cc) the chassis are lighter and the karts are quicker from a standing start. Anti double pedal devices can also enable you to have smoother throttle control. Knockhill is always looking at greener and better alternatives, not only in Karting but other areas of the Motorsport Venue and are pleased to be the only Kart Circuit in Scotland to run this greener alternative.
