Details of Thruxton's new facilities are being slowly revealed this year, but the new building is incredible and the circuit are pulling out all the stops - including the hiring of chef Andrew Clarke, renowned for his approach of old-fashioned techniques applied to modern sensibilities.

What the package does not include is:

Drinks
Food other than stated
Accommodation

The Track Day itself will be limited in numbers, giving you ample chance to enjoy Britain's fastest circuit at your own pace.

We will be running things our usual way - low numbers on track and with free photography, tuition and refreshments through the day (details TBC).

The noise limit at Thruxton is 90dB and should suit most modern unmodified cars. If you are unsure, please contact us or the circuit directly, who will be happy to arrange a test. This noise limit may increase by the time of the event. 

The day will be run from 9AM to 5PM, with a one hour break for lunch.

We will also be running the Thruxton Circuit SKID PAN - With Mission Motorsport, available all day MONDAY. Normally these days would be £300 each per person alone, you get it thrown in free! Try their magnificent split control MX-5 "Lightning McQueen" - the most fun you'll have at 10MPH - or take your own car onto their skid pan and see how you do when there's no grip at all.

Finally - if you want to get OFF ROAD then we're going to be offering a chance to experience the joy of mud with Thruxton's 4x4 facility - everything provided. This is also at no extra cost, but please indicate when booking if you'd like to join us for this!
