Because unless you?re a BSB rider, chances are, you?ve never had the opportunity to ride there. Which is a crying shame.

Because despite there being a fully operational aerodrome on the infield, there are only so many days per year that Thruxton Circuit is open as a motorsport venue. And because those few days are shared between bikes, cars and trucks, bike trackday companies don?t get a look in.
