Thurxton is privately owned by Henry Pelham and he is not a fan of trackdays, infact he hates them, so thats why no UK Trackday organiser never lists Thurxton, seem old Henry wants his cake and eat it...
He has a fleet of expensive vehicles at his disposal and you can hire anyone one of them for a fortune...
Sorry guys i did try but alas no good.
Still ringing around and theses boys certainly know how to charge, still in talks with Castle Coombe, Donnington,Oulton Park, but i would prefer a track that i havent done before, unless its Croft....

I got good prices from Knockhill last year John, they owe us a favour too. A very long way for almost everyone (north of Edinburgh).

Cadwell Park is a reasonable location, not sure how many people have been there ?

Funnily enough I have done a trackday at Thruxton - it was an Audi day organised by my dealer and the day was covered by Audi Driver magazine. Quick track, with nice big runoffs, but not overly challenging. Funny that he says he doesn't "do" trackdays eh?
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

RS4 - as standard as the day it was born
