Track Info
Thruxton Circuit - Andover, Hampshire, UK
Flat-out airfield classic nicknamed the fastest circuit in Britain - clockwise - 3.793 km with 12 turns, colossal corner speeds and the legendary Church right-hander
When was the track built?
Thruxton began as RAF Thruxton in 1942. After the airfield was decommissioned, racing started on temporary layouts in 1950. The BARC-backed redevelopment resurfaced the perimeter road, added chicanes and safety barriers, and in 1968 the current high-speed circuit hosted its first major meeting.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race activity was in 1950 with motorcycles on a runways-plus-roads course. From March 1968, the purpose-laid perimeter circuit took over and quickly earned a fearsome reputation for commitment through Church.
What's the circuit like?
- Flat-out flow: Allard is taken with just a lift in many cars, feeding the technical Complex of Campbell - Cobb - Segrave before the lap explodes into the fast right-left of Noble and Goodwood.
- Church, the signature: One of the UK’s fastest corners, demanding full commitment on worn tyres and windy days.
- Heavy stop finale: The Woodham Hill drag ends in the Club chicane where BTCC and BSB races are often decided.
- Benchmark pace: EuroBOSS/F3000 race-lap 1:01.960 stands as the official car benchmark, with demonstration pace proving the sub-minute potential.
Lap records and benchmarks (by series)
- EuroBOSS/F3000 - race lap: 1:01.960 - Earl Goddard, Reynard 95D, 2000.
- British F3 - race lap: 1:06.752 - Jean-Éric Vergne, 2010.
- F2 (historic) - race lap: 1:07.370 - Johnny Cecotto, 1982.
- Group C/Interserie - race lap: 1:07.460 - James Weaver, Porsche 956 GTi, 1986.
- BTCC - recent reference: modern race laps sit in the mid 1:15s, with Ash Sutton lowering the record in 2024–2025 seasons.
- Outright demo: 0:57.6 - Damon Hill, Williams FW15C, 1993 demonstration.
Why go?
Because nowhere serves high-speed momentum like Thruxton. The schedule might be limited by noise days, but BTCC and BSB weekends are must-see: mega drafting from Noble to Church, elbows-out into Club, and big crowds around the Noble/Goodwood banks.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Noble - Goodwood viewing area: Panoramic sightlines of the fastest section as cars/bikes arc through at full chat.
- Woodham Hill bank to Club: See the top-speed braking battle into the chicane and the sprint to the flag.
- The Complex (Campbell - Cobb - Segrave): Best place to study rotation and patience before the lap opens out.
Not just one series - headline events at Thruxton
BTCC: Britain’s premier tin-top series brings three races and constant slipstreaming through Woodham Hill.
BSB: The fastest venue on the calendar, with average speeds over 180 km/h and breathtaking bravery at Church.
Historic and club racing: From Thruxton Retro to 750MC and CSCC, classic machinery shows off the circuit’s flowing nature.
