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.

One-to-one coaching time and small groups provide plenty of opportunity to learn for some top class coaches throughout the day. Sessions can be booked directly via Whitham’s trackday training website via the link below.

With that in mind, we’ve just released car and
bike trackday dates for May and June onto our website.  Our phone lines (remote service) are available
Monday to Friday from 10am until 3.30pm if you’d like any assistance with a new
or current trackday booking.

As always, the health & safety of our team and customers is our number 1 priority and we will be operating with new safety procedures in place and following all the public health advice to ensure that you can enjoy a truly thrilling experience whilst being reassured that you and your friends and family are well taken care of. 

As a result of our team members connecting remotely, we may not be able to answer your call as quickly as we would like.  If you call us out with these hours you can leave a message and we will respond at the first possible opportunity.  You can also email us at sales@knockhill.co.uk.

Hopefully we’ll see you all back on track soon!

Here’s Knockhill Managing Director Jillian Shedden to outline the current situation regarding Knockhill activities:

Despite this recent postponement, we are expecting some information from the Scottish Government over the next few weeks on how they plan to ease the lockdown restrictions and subsequently what that will mean for Knockhill activities. Once we have this information, we’ll be able to formulate a plan for our return and are hopeful of being able to release an updated schedule (for all activities) at the beginning of June.

If you have any of the following bookings, please take note of these postponement dates:

Driving Experiences – Postponed until 30^th June
Knockhill Karting – Postponed until 22^nd June
Knockhill Trackdays – Postponed until 22^nd June

If you have a booking or voucher with us, rest assured they will still be valid for any rescheduled dates. And, likewise, all current and valid vouchers will have an additional six months added to the expiry date in order for you to complete your booking post lockdown.

In terms of Knockhill Events, we’ve also taken the decision to postpone all those events up to and including the 21st June. Once again, we await confirmation from the Government on how we can proceed. Then we’ll be able to plot the remainder of the motorsports season. Any tickets you hold for any of the postponed events will still remain valid for the rescheduled dates. If the event can’t be rescheduled or the revised dates don’t suit, then refunds will be offered. However, we’d kindly ask that you to hold onto your tickets for the moment, at least until a revised calendar can be announced – most likely at the beginning of June.

Knockhill Events – Postponed until 22^nd June

In the meantime, we’d like to say thanks to all our customers during this difficult period, your patience and understanding has been a real positive note for us throughout. We are very much looking forward to coming back stronger than ever, with an exciting and enjoyable motorsports line-up for the remainder of the season.

Many thanks again for your continued support and hopefully we’ll see you all back at the track very soon.

Jillian Shedden

If you had a proposed Trackday booking to come to us within this timeframe, it will not go ahead and we will happily credit your account for use on another date.

If you have any kind of Trackday Gift Voucher, an additional six months will be applied to the validity of your vouchers. Additionally, Bike/Car Trackday Club Memberships will be reviewed on resumption of activities at Knockhill to ensure you receive value for money across the remainder of the season.

At the moment, we don’t have a set date for when we will be operational again. However, we will contact you again when the situation becomes clearer. If, you need further clarification on the details outlined above, then please email the team (enquiries@knockhill.co.uk) and we’ll respond as soon as we can.

In the meantime, please take care, and we’ll see you all very
soon.

Thank You

Laura Graham
