Bike Track Full Day Sessions

A real favourite with all rider abilities; this popular format allows you to share the track with riders of a comparable ability.  We offer 3 track groups consisting of novice, intermediate and advanced riders; each is available for a maximum of 32 riders.   Groups are allocated fixed periods of time on track throughout the day; this is normally a 15 minute session once an hour. The track is live from 9am to 5pm with a 1 hour break for Lunch. 

  • Novice – Ideal for track day first timers, newcomers or riders with limited track experience.  We recommend that you take part in at least 3 novice trackdays before considering the next level.
  • Intermediate – Suitable for more experienced road or track riders with at least 4 trackdays under your belt.  You must be comfortable with a faster flowing pace on track. 
  • Advanced – Recommended for experienced track riders and race licence holders (SACU/ACU). You should be competent with higher track speeds.

We strongly recommend that you book into the session most appropriate to your own ability.

At Knockhill Racing Circuit we take pride in ensuring everyone has an enjoyable experience on track in a safe manner.  All of our trackdays run to a national code of practice operated by all recognised ACU / SACU approved racing circuits and we are founder members of the Association of Trackday Organisers.

Listed below we have a list of the frequently asked questions and safety regulations.   Our team are always on hand to help on the day or prior to your visit please give us a call with any questions.

All riders must hold one of the following licences and comply with the relevant regulations in order to take part in a track day: DVLA road licence- must be a fully unrestricted (not provisional) valid driving licence issued by the DVLA (or the equivalent foreign licensing authority in the rider's country of residence) with the appropriate motorcycle category clearly indicated. An SACU or ACU race licence.  Race licence holders aged 17 may participate on a motorcycle they are permitted to race as per the (S)ACU regulations (400cc).  Licence holders under the age of 17 cannot participate in trackdays.

No licence = No riding.  If you do forget to bring your licence, or if your licence has expired, we can call the DVLA to check you hold a valid licence for a fee of £10.  Please note this can only be done up to 5.30pm and not on a Sunday or bank holidays.

All riders must wear either full leathers or a two-piece leather suit that zips together fully, along with a helmet, boots, and gloves. Helmets must have the gold ACU approved stamp. We recommend leathers as the best protective equipment for track use, some EU-approved Kevlar or textile suits are allowed if they are two-piece and zip together fully. All trackday riders must wear a full-length back protector, or alternatively, leathers equipped with airbag technology. All equipment must be in good condition and fit for purpose. Our team reserves the right to inspect equipment and deny track access if it does not meet the minimum safety requirements.

Any filming equipment must be secured to the motorcycle using the appropriate bracket designed for that purpose. Cameras or brackets are NOT permitted on the motorcycle tank, on a helmet and on your body or attached to leathers.

Any bike 400cc and over (four stroke) or 250GP (two stroke) can be used on a trackday. If it is a road bike it must conform to MOT minimum standards for road use or if it is a track or race bike it should meet the safety regulations of the governing body. All motorcycles should be in good condition and suitable for its intended use on the track. It is your duty to ensure that the motorcycle remains in this condition for the duration of the activity. If you have a rear brake light this must be in working order.

Most insurance policies do not cover your vehicle for track use.  You should check your policy with your insurer. 

Registration will normally take place in Kinnairds Restaurant approximately 1 hour prior to the start of the trackday.  You will be asked to complete and sign an indemnity form and produce your licence.

All riders must attend a safety briefing, at registration you will be advised of the time and location.  Normally the briefing takes place 30 minutes prior to the start of the trackday.  In addition there is a separate briefing for any first time participants.  It is important everyone attends the safety briefing, even if you are a regular participant.

Proceed to the pitlane, you can use the pitlane garages as a base for the day where you can store your equipment and paddock stands.  Or if you prefer you can remain in the paddock area and listen out for paddock announcements.  The circuit controller will advise when your session is due on track and give you advance notice to prepare and be ready for the session start.  If you are based in the paddock you should proceed through the holding area next to the pitlane.  You will then have your wrist band checked by the circuit controller and be released onto the circuit. 

Remember to exit the pitlane in a safe manner as described in your briefing, start off slow and build up your pace up throughout the day.

All bike trackdays will have sighting laps in your first session - this is your opportunity to experience each corner behind a pace car at a reduced speed, note the marshal posts and circuit conditions.

Sessions will then continue at 15 minute intervals on rotation, with the Novice session normally first on track.
