skcollob ... Scotland's newest circuit

KNOCKHILL Racing Circuit are boasting about unveiling the first new circuit in Scotland in almost 40 years, with the opening of the new reverse direction circuit.

Commenting on the launch, Derek Butcher, track owner since 1984, said, "I raced at the very first Knockhill bike meeting back in 1974 and couldn't resist getting back on track today to try out the reverse direction. It was an absolutely amazing experience. It's going to be a real challenge for all competitors and I think every driver and bike rider will enjoy the new direction just as much as I did."

Jillian Shedden, Managing Director of Knockhill Racing Circuit comments, "It's been great to see all our driving experience vehicles on track today. Our instructors have had great fun driving reverse direction today so I am sure all our customers will feel exactly the same way.

British Superbikes will visit the circuit, but not in reverse from the 22nd to 24th of June. See the full 2012 BSB calendar here.

Raced Knockhill in its previous 'anti-clockwise' incarnation - b****y awesome circuit !!! Regular riders need to adjust the mind-set though - this isn't a familiar circuit "the wrong way round" - treat this as an absolutely new circuit - otherwise it'll bite you :-)

Guaranteed you'll enjoy it . . . Clark's reverse is amazing !!! :-)

Whoever did the image is a lazy fecker. They've just mirrored the image of the normal layout. Tsk tsk. Not the same as running it in reverse!!
