Knockhill Experience

[Sko77y]

Hi all,

Been bought a driving experience for Knockhill to take my car round with a teacher. Only thing is my clutch is on it's last legs and I'm not able to change it anytime soon.

So I've got a couple of options to change to, one of these three alternatives:

- Single Seater Race Experience
- Legend Race Experience
- Rally Experience

Has anyone done any of these before? Any recommendations?

Honestly, I can't decide, I've done super-car driving experience (2-3 times) and a drift experience.

All opinions welcome! Apart from fix my clutch!

legends are simply mental, look on youtube at the races. no aero, free revving engine, sequential box and all the grip is mechanical. anyone I know who has driven one has climbed out with a massive grin. I cant drive them as fat tall blokes dont fit I'm 6'4" btw so dont fit in much

Thanks for the input Alan, with that in mind I think they look really good. See if anyone else has experience of the other 2.

Thanks everyone for the replies, a lot of information to take on board.

I think I'll find out dates for the single seater and rally course, swaying a little more to rallying.

Cheers,
Scott

I did the single seater and legend in November 2012 I think. Great fun - also my first track day like this.

Seat Leons were diesels, they were good, you are shown where the lines are, where to start braking etc.

Next up was the single seater -
I was not used to zero power at low revs, so stalled about 10 times just trying to drive out of the pit lane.
Motorbike gearbox, so push forwards to go down gears, pull back to go up the gears (I think!)
They feel fast and are good fun, but I was being overtaken lots on the straights. (I thought I had been black flagged, it was just a blue flag - I shared the track with a Ferrari and an Aston)
Here was me on my first attempt to drive down the straight

Again really good fun, noticeably more power, I put it into the gravel once, but the instructors came around and helped push me back onto the track and requested that I don't floor it with them standing behind the car, but can floor it from the time I get back onto the track. They get sideways really easily, so I really had to work on driving.

As I enjoy revs, I am told I was the loudest out there, in all three cars.

As mentioned earlier by emicen the cars have changed since then, so all this has changed, but you get the idea.

You are local to me, shout if you want more details of my trip.

Thanks Peanut, very informative, I had gone to book the single seater but didn't have my voucher code on me. The more I think about it the more indecisive I get.

I do like sliding about, but I also want to learn Knockhill.

I'll decide tonight

Cheers guys, booked single seater for the 4th of March. I'll update when I've been.
