Thruxton Circuit, the UK's fastest race circuit

Skid pan and 4x4 centre

Next to the main circuit operates an off-road 4x4 driving centre, with routes through muddy tracks, rocky climbs, steep slopes and water crossings, aimed at both adults and juniors and supervised by experts.

Karting for adults and children
