It might be good but it's obviously not very popular!

It's not far from me mate! I love going to Thruxton!

I think it's meant to be the fastest track in the country or something like that!

I'd say it was a challenging and quite demanding circuit tbh!

Its not the best

As said its the fastest in the UK so if you have a VERY fast car then its great...

other than that though I find it dull and boring sitting in high gears waiting for corners!

Theres not one bit of straight track! Its mainly long long curves with a chicaine at the back of the track before the S/F.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I've booked it now, sounds like it's going to be a good day, if slightly expensive!
