Knockhill

About

Knockhill Racing Circuit is Scotland’s national motorsport centre and one of the most recognisable venues in the UK racing calendar. Located in Fife, the circuit is best known for its dramatic elevation changes, exposed hillside setting, and high-speed national track layout. For BriSCA-style oval racing, Knockhill adapts its facilities to run a short tri-oval layout, creating a compact, action-filled arena suitable for full-contact stock car formulas.

Knockhill’s stock car events are known for their atmosphere — fast racing, tight corners, and night meetings that deliver an extra level of intensity under the floodlights.
