2007 is an important year for Thruxton Motor Sport Centre. They have increased our supercar and sports car line up. They want to substantially raise the game of driving experiences in the UK – to give you the best choice and best value for money experience on a proper licenced race circuit, in a fleet of amazing cars.

Their headline cars for 2007 include the latest Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, Porsche 911 Turbo, Aston Martin V8 Vantage and of course the brilliant Ferrari F430. The big step is the introduction of the Porsche Cayman, the car that everyone will drive first on track (other than the specific One-To-One courses and taster experiences). In addition, Thruxton also has one of the best outdoor corporate kart tracks in the country. 1100 metres long and technically very challenging to drive. Slowing the driving speeds right down, try the mud plugging challenges on our 4x4 course. It has all the hills, holes, climbs, crags, rocks and water you would ever want to test the most capable of off-road vehicles. Finally, for something completely different, but incredibly thrilling. Formation aerobatics in the classic Pitts Specials piloted by former team members of the world famous Red Arrows.

Circuit length
The Thruxton circuit is one of the fastest in the country with legendary high speed corners and a reputation as a real drivers circuit. It is also one of the longest in the UK at 2.4 miles per lap - something to consider when comparing us with their competitors!

Like many race circuits Thruxton was originally a wartime airfield.
Commissioned in 1941 the airfield was host to both the RAF and USAF and played a major part in the D-Day landings.

In 1968 a new layout ignored the old runways and followed the lines of the perimeter road with the inclusion of the chicane and further round the track three corners in quick succession.

Thruxton has seen all our recent Formula 1 drivers race regularly at the track at some time in their career. In 1993 Damon Hill Formula One world champion drove a demonstration run in the Williams FW15C, recording an incredible 57.6 second lap of the 2.4 mile circuit, an average speed of
147.25 mph. It is now the high speed rounds of the British Touring car championship and super bikes that regularly bring in capacity crowds.
