Driving on a race circuit is very different to normal road driving. To make the most of the cars you’ll be driving on track you need to learn the ‘racing line’ and braking points. We use the brilliant Mazda3 MPS for these initial laps. One of the most powerful front-wheel drive hatchbacks on the market. Our ARDS qualified race instructors will demonstrate the racing lines and braking points plus other hints and tips to help you get the most from your driving experience. Out on track it may seem quite unfamiliar with no road marks or signs and no cars coming in the other direction, but after 3 laps watching and listening to your race instructor you’ll have built up a good idea of the circuit layout and be confident when you first get behind the wheel and head out on track. |

Out on track the car gives incredible feedback, allowing the driver to build in confidence and enjoy the increased power and incredible grip that the car generates. Nowhere else in the UK will you drive such an expensive and new car as your introduction to a driving experience. With 4 laps behind the wheel you’ll not only have a huge smile on your face but be ready to take on the next car, no doubt feeling like the next Lewis Hamilton. |

Lamborghini make crazy cars and the new LP670-4 SV is no exception. It's the last incarnation and most extreme version of the legendary supercar. Lighter, more powerful, faster and much more involving to drive than previous models. Visually the car is 'school boy poster' perfect with its huge rear wing and aggressive wedge nose, its looks like it will bite if you get too close. In the car with the scissor door shut, the sense of occasion is almost overwhelming. The dash lights up like a spaceship as the engine catches and bursts into life. On track the Lambo eats up the tarmac as you push the accelerator further. The car feels big, which it is, but it handles it size so well, pacing through the tighter corners and is eager through the fast sweep curves. This truly is a hypercar and with just a few delivered in the UK, a very rare sight. The Lamborghini LP670-4 SV is exclusive to Thruxton and wont be found at any other driving experience venue. |
