Thruxton
Fast, wide circuit in Hampshire Hamstrung by overzealous noise restrictions Thruxton is rarely used for track days. It's wide and very, very fast!

"What an education !!"

Fantastic experience, in my 1600 race car it's exactly as someone else has said, just keep it in and hang on, apart from the complex everything is flat and somehow it just grips and goes round (fortunately the car is far more able than the driver). Awesom...

"Fantastic day......"

.....with instruction from Gillian Goldsmith.

Much in the spirit of Goodwood and Combe. Sadly draconian noise measures will rule out only but modern cars with standard exhuasts for track days.

"Superb open and very fast circuit"

I did the Lotus course here and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. This is a seriously quick circuit, wide and some of the fastest bends I have come accross. I would highly recommend it.

"Wide, sweeping circuit that demands plenty of nerve"

This is a superb circuit to race on. The wide, sweeping flat out bends provide great opportunities for slip streaming and then overtaking on the brakes at the chicane. Not many features on the track so you have to be careful not to get off line because an...

"Brilliant"

Fast and wide with some challenging corners. My favourite.

"The fastest circuit in Britain"

Although famous for beingthe fastest circuit in the UK, Thruxton doesn't actually have a single straight. This means that you have to be happy to go round corners with your foot flat on the floor More

"Broke my Duck here"

I did the track day, driving a Lotus Elise and then a Formula Renault around the circuit.

Wonderful. Very fast, but not that much of a challenge.

"The fastest, wildest track in the UK"

Flat out from the complex to the chicane (in an underpowered 1600cc Golf) Thruxton demands 100% concentration, you literally hang on for dear life. A fantastic circuit.
