Master Thruxton with a full day on track with Tiff Needell and licenced instructors on hand to reveal the circuit’s secrets
Jochen Rindt. Frank Gardner. Graham Hill. Ronnie Peterson. Henri Pescarolo. Those are the names of just some who have mastered Thruxton, the UK’s fastest circuit.
And now you can too, because, on Friday, October 5, we’ll be taking over the Hampshire circuit for the very first Motor Sport track day.

You’ll enjoy a series of on-track sessions in your own road car, with Thruxton’s driving instructors helping you get the most out of your day with guided tuition.
Not only that, Thruxton regular and supporter, Grand Prix starter and recent Motor Sport contributor Tiff Needell will be on hand to lift the lid on the circuit’s secrets and answer your questions.
The all-inclusive track day includes:
