CIRCUIT DRIVING EXPERIENCES
Drive a range of supercars, sports cars and racing cars.

The fast sweeping corners at Thruxton allow guests to really experience the performance of each car.
Guests will receive expert tuition from our team of professional race instructors. We also have a choice of passenger ride cars available for a white knuckle ride you'll never forget. Including laps with Tiff Needell at the wheel of the nee BMW M2.
SKID PAN FACILITY
In a safe and controlled environment guests will develop the skills needed to correct and control a sliding car, a situation you may encounter on the public roads. Not only is this great fun, but also a worthwhile investment in your own and your passengers' safety.
Unlike many venues, we use modern front and rear-wheel drive cars so that guests understand and feel how the electronic safety systems, fitted as standard to most cars, will help in adverse conditions. The systems can also be switched off - relying on pure driver skill.
KART CENTRE
Thruxton Kart Centre is the UK's premier outdoor karting venue and the closest thing to racing without a race licence. With different circuit configurations, banked corners, crossover sections, 60mph race karts and digital live timing, guests are guaranteed to enjoy themselves.
Guests will be given all the equipment they need; race suit, helmet, gloves, balaclava and a briefing from the pros on site. Then it's time to put the visor down and head out on track. This is actual racing and there's nothing like it!
4X4 OFF-ROAD CENTRE
Bring the speed right down at the 4x4 Off-Road Centre. Guests will drive 4x4 vehicles on our purpose built 4x4 facility. It's designed to push you and the vehicle to the limit.
Driving a 4x4 in the environment it was designed, requires a different skill compared to all our other activities; patience, caution and controlled aggression are needed as you test your own nerve.
