02Overview
What Knockhill Racing Circuit is like to drive.
The knockhill international circuit layout at Knockhill Racing Circuit is 1.26 miles with 9 corners worth setting up for. A generic track-day car in our model brakes hard 8 times a lap and is at full throttle for about 49% of the distance; the longest straight runs roughly 984 ft.
2 of the corners are slow (under 50 mph in the model), 0 are fast (over 75 mph). There are hairpins where exit speed matters more than entry. The corner notes below come from the mapped geometry, not from local knowledge; we’ll add a researched guide for Knockhill Racing Circuit later.

The speed trace is a model, not a real lap: a generic track-day car (about 1.1 g of cornering grip, 1 g braking, 150 W/kg) driven on the computed line through an assumed 12 m wide track. Use it to see where the braking zones and flat-out sections are, not to predict your speeds. Elevation data for this track isn’t loaded yet.
04Corner by corner
The corners at Knockhill Racing Circuit.
TRACK’s own corner numbering (C1, C2…), found from the curvature of the mapped centerline. It isn’t the official turn numbering. Each diagram shows the computed line: the minimum-curvature path through an assumed 12 m wide track. It’s a geometric starting point. Your instructor’s line comes first.

Duffus Dip
↱ RightmediumchicaneTRACK numbering
A medium right-hand chicane that turns about 71°, tightening to a radius of roughly 33 m (108 ft). The model car brakes for about 135 m (443 ft), from 123 to 65 mph. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes a late apex, about 5 m after the corner’s geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

Butcher's
↱ RightmediumcornerTRACK numbering
A medium right-hand corner that turns about 43°, tightening to a radius of roughly 29 m (95 ft). The model car barely brakes here, carrying about 66 mph: a lift or a confident throttle balance. The computed line turns in from the left side, takes an apex close to the geometric apex, and lets the car run out to the left on exit.

FAQ
Knockhill Racing Circuit, answered.
How long is Knockhill Racing Circuit?
The mapped centerline of Knockhill Racing Circuit is 1.27 mi (2.04 km) in OpenStreetMap. Published lengths are measured differently, so small differences are normal.
Which direction does Knockhill Racing Circuit run?
OpenStreetMap doesn’t record a direction for the main layout at Knockhill Racing Circuit. Venues sometimes run both ways. TRACK takes the direction from your first laps.
Can I time laps at Knockhill Racing Circuit with my phone?
Yes, with the TRACK iPhone app (beta). It recognises Knockhill Racing Circuit and the layout you’re driving from GPS, then times laps and sectors. A phone’s GPS is good for lap times; an external 10–25 Hz receiver tightens sector splits.
Where is the start/finish line at Knockhill Racing Circuit?
The line TRACK uses comes from a start/finish point placed in OpenStreetMap. It isn’t verified on site, so the app asks you to confirm or move it before timing your first session here.
How do I find track days at Knockhill Racing Circuit?
Clubs and organizers list HPDE, track days and club races on MotorsportReg. The venue’s own calendar (also linked) lists its events too. TRACK doesn’t list events itself.
Where can I stay near Knockhill Racing Circuit?
This page lists hotels, campgrounds, restaurants, fuel and parts stores near Knockhill Racing Circuit from OpenStreetMap, with straight-line distances. Book early for big event weekends.
