Thruxton Circuit, built on a former World War II airbase, is today one of the UK's most thrilling and challenging circuits. Developed in 1950, the circuit uses both the wartime runways and perimeter roads, resulting in a high-speed circuit that challenges even the best drivers to their limits. At 2.4 miles per lap, Thruxton is one of the UK's longest circuits, renowned for its sweeping corners and flat-out straights.
Once a motorcycle-only track until 1952, Thruxton is now a motorsport destination, hosting car and motorcycle events regularly that attract the finest competitors. Its fabled high-speed corners and new chicane introduced in recent years add technical challenge, making it one of the finest tracks to drive. The amalgamation of hard corners and blistering straights challenges drivers to find the perfect balance of precision and valor.
Thruxton has also broadened its appeal with fresh additions such as a high-tech 1100-meter outdoor karting circuit for those serious about improving their racing techniques. 4x4 drivers are able to experience muddy ground, steep hillsides, and even a see-saw in today's Land Rover Discoveries in the Thruxton Motorsport Centre, presenting an entirely alternative form of motorsport experience. Chasing pace on the kart track or off-road challenges are equally catered to by Thruxton and promise an electrifying day out for everyone.
