Quick links and ideas
Thruxton Motorsport Centre is committed to ensuring that all of its customers enjoy their experiences. To ensure there is no misunderstanding with regard to purchase and participation of any experiences please read the following information carefully. Call Thruxton on 01264 882222 if there are any issues you would like to discuss.
Venue
Driving
Thruxton Race Circuit is a licenced motorsport venue and as such meets all the requirements laid down by the governing body of motorsport in the UK, the MSA (Motorsports Association). We operate with full third party public liability insurance cover. All the instructors are qualified by the Association of Racing Drivers Schools (ARDS), a body recognised by the MSA.
Participation
All participants will be required to sign an indemnity form at registration and attend the briefing before taking part in the experience. All participants on a track driving course or 4x4 must hold a current driving licence.
Driving
Once your course is booked, Thruxton Motorsport Centre allocates your experience slot and covers the associated costs for the appropriate vehicles and instructors. We require you to arrive in plenty of time (at least 20 minutes before the start of your course). All participants must attend a pre event briefing. Failure to do so or being late may result in you not being able to participate in the experience. We reserve the right to refuse an experience to anyone who is deemed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
All attendees must abide by the experience rules and regulations as described in the briefing. They must drive in a manner as instructed and where relevant no more than the specified rev limit. They will be unable to complete their course if any car is damaged whilst they are in control and will not be able to claim a refund.
Where required helmets/safety equipment must be worn, no exception will be made.
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are valid for one year from the date of purchase and must be booked by the beginning of the tenth month. The chosen activity must be undertaken within the one year period.
Gift vouchers can be refunded for up to 2 months (8 weeks) after purchase subject to a £25 charge. After that time the vouchers are not refundable in any circumstances. Gift vouchers cannot be extended. It is the recipient`s responsibility to understand the valid period, operating days within that time and plan accordingly to use it before the valid period expires.
Gift vouchers can be exchanged for higher value vouchers with the difference in price being paid. If you exchange for a lower value a £25 charge will be made and the balance refunded.
Gift vouchers can be transferred to other people.
Any refund will be made to the purchaser and not the voucher holder.
Deposit Bookings
Deposit bookings can only be made for driving experiences. A deposit can be paid to reserve a place (or places) on a specific course on a specific date. The balance of the course fee will be paid on arrival at Thruxton on the course date.
A confirmation only (not a voucher) will be sent on receipt of your deposit payment. Deposit bookings can be refunded up to 2 months (8 weeks) after the booking has been made subject to a £25 charge being made. After that time deposit bookings are not refundable in any circumstances.
Deposit bookings will not be refunded within the above 2 months (8 weeks) period if it is within 2 weeks of the course date as time vehicles and staff have been allocated to you.
Cancellation Of Booked Date
Thruxton Motorsport Centre operates a cancellation policy and offer its customers a purchased cancellation cover that gives extra flexibility once a date has been booked. Cancellation cover can only be purchased before or at the time the original booking is made. Cancellation cover cannot be purchased after a date has been booked.
Without Cancellation Cover
Once a date has been booked [either a voucher that has been booked in or a deposit paid against a specific date] it can be moved only once and only if the change of date is made more than two weeks (14 days) before the original booked date. A charge of £35 will be made at the time the booking is changed. You will not be able to change your booking if you are within two weeks (14 days) of the original booking. You can send someone else in your place.
With Cancellation Cover
Once a date has been booked [either a voucher that has been booked in or a deposit paid against a specific date] it can be moved only once (for no cost) up to one week (7 days) before the booked date. You will not be able to change the booking if you are within one week (7 days) of the original booking. You can send someone else in your place.
No Shows
You will forfeit the entire course fee if you fail to attend on the day and time of your booking.
General Information
All experiences are run on specific dates during the year.
Circuit driving experiences operate primarily during the week with very limited Saturday availability between mid February and early December. 4x4 experiences operate at weekends unless you have a group booking [3+] when weekdays can be considered. Due to popular demand we advise booking 3-6 weeks in advance to guarantee your first choice of date. Drivers - please note that there may be some waiting between the cars you drive. This may be the same for participants of the 3 car passenger ride. Family and friends are most welcome to attend and watch. There are good spectator facilities on track. There are limited opportunities to watch the 4x4. There is no charge for spectators. There is a restaurant on site should you require any refreshments. Third party insurance is included in the cost of the course. Animals are prohibited on or around the circuit or airfield. Young children are allowed in and around all the relevant buildings but must be supervised at all times. Please note that whilst family and friends are welcome to attend the briefing, it is not suitable for babies and small children, who can distract other participants. You are welcome to film from all the normal public enclosures. Thruxton Motorsport Centre are constantly trying to improve and upgrade their experiences. As such your experiences and vehicles may differ slightly from that described in this brochure.Weather
We try to run the majority of events at time of the year when they will not be adversely affected by the weather. IN the event of snow, ice, fog or heavy rain the event may be cancelled or be restricted. Thruxton Motorsport Centre ONLY will make the decision to run the event, stop for a period of time or stop completely. Generally, weather forecasts are sufficiently unreliable to make any definitive decision the day prior to an event and as such, bad or unpromising forecasts the day before your event is not an acceptable reason for you to want to cancel your event. Non attendance on a day that operates in spite of bad weather forecasts will see you loose your experience completely. If your driving is cut short because of bad weather, you will be able to return on another day to complete the balance of your experience. Refunds will not be given.
