Circuit Info

Home of the British Automobile Racing Club, Thruxton has the honour of boasting the highest lap speed in Britain, so it's surely worth driving for that alone.

Indeed due to moaning locals track time at Thruxton is severely limited with just a handful of race meetings and test sessions. A track day at the circuit, therefore, is a rare thing.

Being another airfield circuit Thruxton is a bit on the featureless side but typical of the breed much of it is very fast indeed. Essentially only the chicane and the Cambell/Cobb/Segrave complex split up the flat-out sections. In fact over half the lap can be taken with the throttle very nearly planted.

Magic moment

Church round the back of the circuit, away from the spectators gaze is easily the most memorable corner. This fast right hander will have your car on the absolute limit and the infamous bump half way through will certainly give you something to think about.
