It’s the busiest weekend of the year at Knockhill, with up to 20,000 people on-site over the course of the weekend. And as such, the leaving process on Sunday evening after the final race can sometimes be a bit hectic. However, this year we encourage everyone to stay on after the final BSB race and enjoy the following feature – all-new for 2015:
Blondie Tribute Band – There will also be an hour-long live music set after the final race of the day, at the Hairpin. Top Blondie tribute band ‘Dirty Harry’ will perform iconic Blondie tracks including Call Me, Heart of Glass and One Way or Another. This is a free to attend event as part of your BSB entry fee.
Touch the Track – For the first time ever, we’ll be opening the gates to the track after the final race on Sunday 5th July to do an American style touch-the-track event. Spectators can flood onto the track and walk the famous twists and dips of Knockhill to view the circuit from a rider’s perspective – a brilliant way to finish off your BSB weekend!
Extended Opening Hours – A number of food courts/vans/outlets will also be staying open for longer. So instead of rushing off and being caught in the exit process, sit back, enjoy some refreshments and reflect on all of the day’s highlights, whilst listening to some music.
Arrive and Drive Karting – Our Karting Centre will also be open to 6pm, allowing adults and kids to participate in a spot of racing of their very own in our new fleet of Sodi kids and adult karts. Places can be booked throughout the day from £10 for 10-minute sessions. Simply call into the Kart Centre on the day for timings and availability.
