The team at Knockhill are thrilled to announce a partnership with French sports car manufacturer Alpine, with a fleet of multi-award-winning A110s becoming the main track experience cars for the start of the 2024 season. Alpine have an incredible pedigree in motorsport which continues at the very pinnacle of motorsport, with their F1 cars driven by Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.

But it’s their diminutive sports car that has captured the world’s motoring press, with the A110 landing numerous awards since launch, including Top Gear’s “Performance & Sports Car of the Year”, Autocar’s “Five-Star car”, Octane magazine’s “Car of the Year” and Evo Magazine’s “Coupe of the Year”.

Gordon Shedden, 3 times British Touring Car Champion, said “We always strive to provide the best for our driving experiences and the Alpine A110 ticks every box for us, and more! With their involvement in F1, Alpine are a brand on the rise and the A110 is the perfect track training car for us. It’s rare that a car is so devoted to driver involvement: the A110 is quick, agile and provides enormous, accessible performance, handling and fun. Having driven it I can fully see why the world’s press has given it the full five stars – it will be perfect for our customers and they will take our experiences to a whole new level”.

The cars will arrive at Knockhill for the start of the 2024 season, supported by Specialist Cars Alpine Aberdeen and Arnold Clark Alpine Glasgow, and will be used as the instructor coaching car for the Formula Single Seater Experiences, Legends, Supercars and Performance Driving Courses. As a result, 1000s of customers a year will experience just why this special car has been awarded five stars, and significantly enhances the thrill of driving Knockhill, Scotland’s National Motorsport Centre.

Max said, “I’m really looking forward to coming back to compete at Knockhill in the rallycross. It’s going to be kinda cool especially as it’s the first event to use the newly named McRae’s Corner at the start of the loose section. I’ve not completed in a rallycross before but with its quick-fire short race format, there’s always some great action for the drivers and fans alike. I can’t wait- it’s gong to be a blast!”

Tickets for the event are available via www.Knockhill.com/events with practice starting at 9am followed by heats and finals, with the event due to finish around 4.30pm

Dexter, a friend of the KMSC was last seen handing out the annual awards last February to the club championships.

Dexter said, “I don’t have a lot of track experience at Knockhill, so this is perfect for me to just enjoy driving the Legend car and gain track time ahead of the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship when I will get back behind the wheel of my Team-Hard Cupra“.
