Alpine A110 Sports Car

We're thrilled to introduce you to this multi award-winning sports car - the Alpine A110. Made by the historic French sportscar manufacturer Alpine, this car is loved by everyone who gets behind the wheel. It's fast, agile, and perfect for the twists and turns of Knockhill's iconic racing circuit. In fact, Top Gear awarded the Alpine A110 both ‘Performance Car of the Year’ and ‘Sports Car of the Year’, calling it "One of the best sports cars ever made." We couldn't agree more! This seriously quick car is a real driver's car, and we know you'll love it as much as we do.

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.

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.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMER'S SAY
  • "Had a single seater experience, great instructors and a good track to drive."

    Andy June, 2023
  • "Boyfriend still buzzing after today’s racing experience. Well organised and even very wet conditions couldn’t spoil the fun. Staff were amazing with daughter as it’s quite a long time to stand in wet conditions and she was so occupied watching and being involved (not in the driving obviously) that she never complained once. Only advice is to wrap up warm and with waterproofs if rainy as spray off cars passing leaves you pretty wet."

  • "Another great day out, second time round for me so I love knockhill. I'll be back as soon as I can and will and do recommend knockhill to anyone who will listen to me. Keep up the good work."

    John Killard January, 2020
  • "Good day out doing the driving experiences. Friendly instructors. Decent facilities for a regional racetrack."
