Knockhill MCE BSB round could be run on a reverse configuration in 2014 if alterations to the track are completed as planned.
 
Always used clockwise layout for BSB but after homologation by car racing bodies and the Scottish ACU, more than 50 car and bike track days, plus races have used the reverse configuration.
 
"since the circuit restarted events in the counter clockwise direction we have been curious to learn how they have been received.  After talking to Niall MacKenzie, Stuart Easton and Dennis Hobbs, among others, who have had first hand experience we noted they were very enthusiastic and positive as to how it was to ride.  In fact, there are a number of factors which have shown this configuration to be better for competitors, spectators and viewers, with some of the well known features of the circuit much enhanced" said Stuart Higgs.

I've done knockhill in reverse direction!
It did feel slower but more consistent. ..
Took a bit of getting used too!
