LOCATION
Thruxton is just 5 miles west of Andover in Hampshire and some 60 miles west of London. The road to take is the A303, it passes past the front gate. It might be a flat airfield circuit, but Thruxton is fast, with some demanding corners. The variety of different lines poses plenty of problems for the riders
ABOUT CIRCUIT
Situated approximately 10 minutes south of Andover in Hampshire. Thruxton circuit is an old airfield but probably one of the fastest in the UK.
Most of the track has been resurfaced since 2000, which has improved safety. The circuit is demanding both on the riders courage and the machine’s set up. Spectators have a great view at Campbell, Cobb and Segrave bends.
