try get a lap with someone whos been on the track before, follow the lines an youll be fine, duffas dip or seat curves can be a bit daunting at first too.

Ive only ever been on 3 times, only one lap driving, and its superb, really loved it

Only advice i could give is to get on Youtube and watch as many clips as possible, although be aware this wont give you the undulations on the track, loads of dips etc to take into account. Duffus Dip in particular is a tester

Knockhill seems to have its own weather compared to anywhere else so be prepared for brass monkeys !!!!
