FREE entry to weekends at Knockhill for the armed forces has been extended to include workers from the NHS and emergency services.
Over the past 10 years an appreciation day has been held at the racing circuit for serving members and veterans of the army, navy and air force.
Free entry was given to a car race meeting but that's now been expanded to two events for 2024 and for the first time will include workers in the NHS and the blue light services.
The scheme will cover the first car event of 2024, on April 20 and 21, and the first bike race meeting the following weekend, on April 27 and 28.

Stuart Gray, director of events at Knockhill, said: "We have had our appreciation events for almost a decade but post-pandemic, it is only right that this is expanded to cover workers within the NHS and the blue light services too.
"Hopefully, they will get good attendances across all the sectors on both weekends as it covers both our first car race meeting and our first bike event too.
"Qualifying visitors pre-order their complimentary tickets and bring proof of service or employment with them to show the gate staff upon arrival for a great day out at the races on us.

"Anyone accompanying them gets in for the concessionary price."
Back in November 2019 Knockhill achieved the highest level of recognition in Britain, the gold covenant, for services to the armed forces.
The appreciation days are part of their programme of engagement and fundraising for the forces and their benevolent funds.
This year is the 50th anniversary of car racing at Knockhill and the event on April 20 and 21 is a 'Best of Scottish Motorsport' weekend, which will include rounds from the Scottish Mini Cooper Cup, Scottish Fiesta ST Cup, Scottish C1 Cup and the Scottish Classic Sports and Saloon Championship.
In April 27 and 28 it's two days of 'Scottish Championship Bike Racing' with seven different championships, including superbike and clubman machines with 1000cc bikes, 600s, pre-injection 600s, cb500s, lightweights, sidecars and the agile 300s class.
