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.

Hi Amanda, Just like to say I had an amazing day at the track today and will definitely be back when time permits. Young Michael the instructor was brilliant though he did have me holding on for dear life when he was showing me how it’s done especially the last 3 laps 😳, that boy can drive!

Gordon Shedden Experience - This was the second occasion on which I had booked the two hour track session for my son with Gordon Sheddon and it did not disappoint. In fact, it was even better than the first time! Gordon is not only a brilliant driver, British Touring Car Champion and tutor, but a lovely chap who is willing to talk to mums about his racing life. Chris, my son, had learnt a huge amount from Gordon three years earlier and bringing this knowledge, and of the track, made this visit even more rewarding and memorable. Gordon is patient, clear with his instructions and yet allows guests to have fun - and drive incredibly fast in an amazing car. In summary, if you are looking for a unique, awesome and unforgettable present for a car enthusiast, this is the gift to be giving.

Just a quick note to say thank you to all the staff at Knockhill for making me feel so welcome on Friday, it was a shame that the weather was bad but this did not detract from the enjoyment I took out of taking my MX5 around Knockhill. Can you please extend my appreciation to all the staff that were on site for making what could be quite a daunting experience for the ordinary punter into a relaxed fun day. I hope to return to Knockhill to perhaps repeat this course in better weather.
