Knockhill
A twenty minute drive north of Edinburgh, Knockhill is both spectucular and challenging. Get a good day's weather at Knockhill and you're in for a treat. The narrow circuit rises and falls and winds its way around the site providing plenty to keep the driver occupies. It's only 1.3 miles long but seems longer!

Knockhill is one of those tracks that dares you to go quicker each lap. Unfortunatley when you come off here it is quite sore/expensive. There are no nice run off areas it is just gravel or rough grass with boulders the size of your fists. My windscreen t...

"Ideal for light nimble cars, always very cold"

A short narrow circuit with short straights and no really fast corners, very undulating with some blind crests.
The weather changes instantly, and when it's very wet(and very wet it can be), it's a touch entertaining with alot of standing water.

"No straight worth mentioning"

OK in somebody elses machinery (racing E-type) but would be no earthly use in my Supra Twin Turbo; would cook brakes and get nowhere near maxing it.

"Good"

Overall, second WB's comments. Enjoyable circuit, maybe slightly short, so the lap becomes a little too familiar on an extended session on a track day.

"Nice track, get all 4 seasons in 1 afternoon, heavy on brakes"

recommended review

Short compared to some tracks, but purpose built so no airfield origins and a good surface and generally decent run-off. Very undulating with some blind crests/corners and surprisingly steep bits. Twisty bits probably more suited to caterfields/lotus th...
