Knockhill Racing Circuit International Circuit CW is 2.1 km, 8 turns, clockwise.
The Knockhill Racing Circuit is a 1.3-mile (2.09-km) road course located in the rolling hills of Fife, 6 miles (10 km) north of Dunfermline, Scotland.
The 8-turn racing circuit is the only FIA-approved raceway in Scotland and is considered the country's national motorsports center.
Racers go full throttle through Brabham at 120 mph (193 km/h), downshifting for a while at Clark and pressing the gas pedal hard again through the Railway Straight.
The super-tight corner at Taylor's gets their speed down to 30 mph (48 km/h) to head them back into the front straight and pass the start/finish at full speed.
