Scotland is about to come alive with the thunder of engines as the Bennetts British Superbikes return to Knockhill Racing Circuit from 4 to 6 July.

Around 15,000 fans are expected to make their way to Fife, turning Scotland’s national motorsport centre into a buzzing hub of two-wheel celebration.

This year brings something extra to cheer for, with six Scottish riders set to race on home soil in front of a crowd ready to lift them every inch of the way.

In the premier Superbike class, three of Scotland’s finest will be pushing for podiums.

Perth’s Rory Skinner is back on familiar ground, chasing top pace and precision.

Lewis Rollo from Haddington will look to convert local knowledge into fast laps and fearless overtakes.

John McPhee, raised in Connel Bridge and racing at Knockhill for the first time in the Superbike class, brings a wealth of international experience with him.

They’ll be joined by three more determined Scots in the support classes, each with plenty to prove and everything to race for.

Declan Connell from Dunfermline has been turning heads in the Pirelli National Superstock Championship.

He currently holds ninth in the standings after a gritty sixth-place finish last round.

Huntley’s Callum Bey is sitting fourteenth in the same series and continuing to build momentum with every race.

Over in the Quattro Sport British Supersport Championship, Oliver Barr from Newton Stewart has been quietly climbing the ranks.

He’s now sixteenth overall, and eager to make a statement at Knockhill.

These six riders bring more than local interest.

They bring national pride, the thrill of home support, and the promise of big performances across a packed three-day schedule.

The action begins early each morning, with track sessions starting from 8.45am.

Teams will start arriving from Wednesday 2 July, as Knockhill prepares to host the biggest weekend of the year.

Stuart Gray, the circuit’s Director of Events, says the return of the Superbikes is always a highlight.

He’s especially excited to see both seasoned stars and rising young Scots ready to shine.

The event also delivers a significant boost for local businesses, with hotels, restaurants, and shops across Fife set for a welcome surge in visitors.

Spectators will find plenty more than high-speed drama on track.

From food stalls serving classic Scottish fare to merchandise stands and family-friendly viewing areas, Knockhill is ready to welcome fans of all ages.

Whether you’re following your favourite rider or discovering the thrill of Superbike racing for the first time, this is set to be a landmark weekend in Scottish sport.

Tickets are on sale now at knockhill.com and will also be available at the gate.

There’s nothing quite like the sound of Superbikes echoing through the hills, especially when six Scots are in the mix.
