Knockhill Racing circuit in Fife is Scotland's national Motorsport centre. The circuit is located in the Fife countryside about 10 miles north of Dunfermline. The track, initially opened in 1974 is 1.3 miles long and 10 metres wide, created by joining service roads to a nearby disused railway.
Between 1974 and 1983 the circuit went through a number of different managers, all developing facilities and attractions. Since the 1980s Knockhill has gone through a large range of enhancements to allow it the prestigious position it holds within British motorsport. Today Knockhill boasts a range of facilities from an offroad track, rally stage, fully serviced racing circuit and excellent spectator and participant facilities.
Knockhill runs different events throughout the year including the British superbike championship, Touring cars, stock cars and the infamous hot hatch days.
As well as these special events Knockhill runs daily experience sessions. There are many different experiences available from the skid control course to the offroad rally stage driving. Best sellers are the 4x4 driving and the single seater racing car driving. There are 27 different options for experiences at Knockhill.
