Thruxton Circuit Omdömen 

Another great driving experience at Thruxton. A relaxed, yet informative briefing was followed by a few familiarization circuits with an instructor. I did the one to one Porsche Cayman experience which provided an opportunity to drive a great sports car at speed, The instructor Gary instilled confidence with knowledge and information to maximize my potential and ability behind the wheel.

This was a 13th Birthday present to Grandson Oscar. He did extremely well and it was a thoroughly wonderful experience. Unfortunately, Oscar's dad had to be at work on the day. However, his mother, younger brother, Oma and Opa were there to watch. Absolutely fabulous!!
The booking process for this experience was quite straightforward
The staff were incredibly good, particularly the driving instructor who gave Oscar a good briefing before the drive and de-briefing at the conclusion.
All in all it was great!!
Well done Thruxton Circuit.🕺

very well organized, excellent instruction during the briefing and driving no hidden extras like other driving experience vendors, a great time out on track in the single seaters

All so well organised

Great day driving a Ferrari.
Pleasant instructors and helpful people in the facility.
Then after a great drive, a Taxi Ride par excellence with the wonderful Tiff Needell.
Memorable day at the track!

I love the track, cars and the whole atmosphere. I would appreciate if it was easier to book extra laps. Staff all seem to work really hard and well together

A really great day. Well organised and truly thrilling. Want to go back for another experience!

Tiff's Taxi was great, just what I was hoping for. However we stood queuing in the wrong place for about 25minutes ( in blazing sun) as directed by a lady in the booking in hall. Other than that (and my car breaking down later that day !!!) it was a great experience, one that I would recommend to all petrol-heads.

A great and really well run experience. All the instructors and staff were great, I would definitely go back.

Fantastic day all round.
Well organised and smooth from the moment of arrival.
Instructors were all very friendly.
Definitely will be going again.

A truly amazing driving day. The entire experience was over and above anything I expected. The staff were incredibly professional while also very friendly and polite.

Excellent second visit. Will return. Friendly, helpful and informative staff from check in, to restaurant, to drivers.

Great days driving the spider
Loved the fast speed drifting passenger ride
Restaurant was nice

Great place lots to do

An outstanding session with Colin in the BMW M2. He was encouraging and cheerful and probably the best instructor I have had in quite a few drives at the circuit (sorry Gary!)

He really helped me to get the best out of the drive, working with me on lines and braking points. Such an enjoyable morning.

Thruxton was a great time, if you like motor sport it is the top place to be. Thanks

Fantastic experience, very welcoming upon arrival, fantastic instructors and very well organised event.
Would definitely recommend it to all driving enthusiasts!

I booked this day out for me and my wife, thinking that I'd see a lot of 1980's racing cars, especially F1 racing cars of that era. How wrong was I. The racing cars consisted of old bangers and tiny low powered Formula Ford things trundling round at low speeds, compared to that of 1980's F1 racing cars. What happened to the screaming V8's, V10's and the V12's? I could've saved my money and watched local go-karts in my home town. Parking was great and the security manning the parking but the food and drink was grossly overpriced, shame really as I fancied some hot food, so ate my picnic I had brought with me as a backup. The funfair was a poor show and the barrier around the concert was a poor idea, only allowing in 499 people at a time. Therefore, if you left the concert arena area to nip to the toilet or grab a drink then you were doomed, unable to get back into that area. I found the music disappointing too. After the 80's tribute group finished we waited a good hour until the Queen tribute band came on, which is ridiculous. As soon as they started their first song I upped sticks and left. We had had enough. I definitely won't be returning. Waste of money, especially when programs were £7 each!

We visited Thruxton for their Retro Festival event. We went last year and it was really good, lots of stuff for the kids to do to keep them entertained. This year there was none of it and the kids were so bored we had to leave really early. No circus tent with performers like last year, no bar in the big tent by the stage, only 3 really expensive fairground rides which were placed in a very bad location right next to the stage and drowned out the performers with excessively loud music. Last year there were loads of inflatables and rides which were all included in a one off price for a wristband to have as many goes as the kids wanted, all day. Food and drinks were massively expensive (but to be expected, it is the UK after all). There was lots of car racing as expected (it is a race track after all) but I feel it was mid advertised as an 80’s vibe family festival. In truth it was a petrol heads festival with nothing for families with kids other than sitting and eating/ drinking the over priced food and drink on offer. We definitely won’t be visiting the Retro festival again, especially for the price of £25 per adult.

Sadly, I have to give the Thruxton Retro 80's 1 star, as there's no option to give it 0. Compared to last years Retro 70's which was great. So much so, we book again this year making the 3 hour journey to a total let down.

The set up of the main arena was ridiculous. Segregated by a barrier manned with some of the unfriendliest staff. 400 people stage side with the remainder on the outskirts.

The bar was a total joke... Couldn't have been sited any further away from the main stage. 2 staff members serving with a poor drink selection

Food vendors mediocre... nothing special.

The Queen tribute act may have been decent.... who knows... couldn't hear him over the amusements which we were told by a member of staff was going to be turned down... and wasn't.

We left after the second song.... back to our camp site to play Queen on my Bluetooth speaker and have a beer with the gang.

Total let down...

More effort required....

Papa Smurf and Smurfette... (Completely robbed from the best fancy dress)

I can not recommend the 4x4 junior experience enough. My daughter had the best time, Lawrence showed patience and made the whole experience enjoyable and rememberable.. from taking time to talking to us as parents to listening to my daughter and putting her at ease with her nerves.. they went from plodding along to actually getting into the ruts.. defo recommend!
