Come of M90 at Junction 4.It is well sign posted from there on

Park just past the far end of the paddock from the entrance (beyond the marshal's building) - you'll see plenty of cars giving you a clue

For the big meetings (BTCC and F3), once through the main gate drive straight ahead onto the circuit and park on the start / finish straight. Make sure you are parked at the side to allow vehicles to get through.

One parked up, make your way to the marshals building. It is situated next to race control and along from the medical centre. Access is via the pit lane.

In marshal's building between Race Control and Medical Centre

Marshals will sign on then be given their post allocations. Flag marshals and observers may have to wait until after the briefing. Flag marshals should pick up a set of flags and observers should get a clipboard, a radio and a headset.

As much tea and coffee as you want at signing on,Lunch and after meeting.Lunch is provided by Knockhill

If running to time, a good lunch break is usually provided and marshals make their way to the marshals building. They can pick up their lunch and eat it there before heading back to post before the afternoon session.

Knockhill is one of the most friendly circuits I've been to.
The circuit owners have made a special effort to make the posts better for the marshals - most posts have breezeblock huts with enough room to store bags and equipment.
Communication to Race Control is by Radio.
The circuit is surrounded by tyres and are quite high and large in places - some which are not attached to a barrier just an earth bank!! - so be very carefull where you stand.
Lap times are short - but they have a very efficient recovery/snatch system.
As mentioned - morning coffee and tea are provided to all, along with a packed lunch which you can eat on post or back at the marshals sign on building.
Shame the BTCC pulled the the circuit off the calender - hope it is back for 2004.
