Getting some track time at Thruxton

[stockhatcher]

Hello all,

for the first time this year the stock hatch championship will be racing at Thruxton. Testing I believe is severely limited at the circuit, and what track days they do, are specifically limited to road cars. So does any one else know of any other ways to get some driving time on circuit.

i have checked the race school on site, and there are a few options, £150 gets you one hour in your road car, ( i think with an instructor) £169 gets you 12 laps in an mx5, and of course there are those wanky supercar courses. Having seen the tosh on youtube as to what those courses are like, it would seem there would be little point in paying for one of them, as the circuit is all marked out with cones and the instructor is only interested in you not bashing the car. so is the one hour in your road car 1:1 any good? are there any other options like general test days etc...
