Palmersport days are fab. Thruxton stuff is just not value for money compared with it. My advice go back to Palmersport!!!!!

Thruxton is a great event, went there last year and drove a Cayman 2.9 to start with (after induction laps), then a Gallardo Spyder LP560 and a Formula Renault single seater thingy. The staff were excellent, and didnt hold you back (was getting speeds over 130mph in the Gallardo) biggrin Highly recommended.

Palmersport twice the price 10 times the fun. IMHO

This, but I drove the 458. You can go power sliding round the track with Tiff off 5th gear and be a passenger in an open top 2 seater racing pug thing.

They do special offers for late bookings. Worth a try if you've done plamer sport. I suppose it boils down to how much you want to spend and what do you want to drive.

Look on the truxton website and also youtube.
