KNOCKHILL Racing Circuit have announced a partnership with a sports car manufacturer with "an incredible pedigree in motorsport" for the beginning of the 2024 season.
Scotland's national motorsport centre, located to the north of Dunfermline, have teamed up with French firm Alpine, who will provide a fleet of multi-award-winning A110s, which will become the venue's main track experience cars.
Prominent at the pinnacle of motorsport, with their Formula One cars driven by Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, Apline's diminutive sports car has captured the attention of the world's motoring press.
The A110 has landed numerous awards since launching, including Top Gear's 'Performance and 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'.
Upon arrival at Knockhill, the cars will be used as the instructor coaching car for the formula single seater experiences, legends, supercars and performance driving courses, ensuring thousands of customers will be able to experience why it enjoys a five-star rating.

Three-time British Touring Car Championship winner Gordon Shedden, business development manager at Knockhill, commented: "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."
Knockhill have been supported with bringing the Alpine cars to the circuit by Specialist Cars Alpine Aberdeen and Arnold Clark Alpine Glasgow.
