Thruxton Sunday Service 01/12

Fancy one last drive out in 2024? Here's how to join us for our final Sunday Service of the year


It’s that time of year again when we can all get excited about our favourite event in December. And no, we’re not talking about that jolly old chap in the red suit paying you a visit – it’s our Thruxton Sunday Service of course! Now proving to be one of the most popular venues on our Sunday Service calendar, we’re heading back to Thruxton Circuit in Hampshire on December 1st with our good friends at Mission Motorsport.

Thruxton will be throwing open the doors to their Motorsport Centre, serving up hot brews and breakfast baps to help everyone thaw out. Mission Motorsport will be running the extremely popular skid pan for the morning, where you can take your own car for a spin (quite literally) or hire either an MX-5 or F-Type from their fleet.

No matter what you own, be it front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all four, a skid pan is the perfect place to learn car control in slow motion. Want to provoke some lift-off oversteer in your hot hatch or flick out the back end of your MX-5? There is nowhere better. All of the money raised will go towards helping the MM team do what they do best.

The skid pan will be run in 30-minute sessions with six cars per group. It's £30 per session (plus booking fee) - spaces will sell very quickly and are available to book here. Ensure that you're at the skid pan at least 15 minutes before your allocated session for a briefing and to keep the groups moving on time.

Once again, there will be a rare opportunity to walk the track at 11:00, where you can walk the full 2.4-mile circuit to warm up. It's £7 per person (plus booking fee) and you can book your space here. All proceeds raised from the event will help Mission Motorsport, The Forces' Motorsport Charity help the wounded, injured or sick Armed Forces community on a journey of recovery.

This is a very popular event and fills up quickly, so please sign up via this page on the Thruxton website. See you there!


When: Sunday December 1, 09:00 - 12:00
Where: Thruxton Motorsport Centre, Thruxton Circuit, Andover, Hampshire, SP11 8PN
Cost: Free
Capacity: 600 cars
Tickets: Book your place here

Thruxton link is throwing an error on booking, so I did it again and then realised I had two tickets in my inbox.

Had that issue too. Was worried, but checked my emails & i have my ticket!

One genuinely can't wait to be back at Thruxton! It's always a highlight of the year & pretty much my final car event of the year before one goes all Christmasy....

I also can't wait to see Skidpan action again after it not happening last year but preying the temperature is above zero! Unlike in 2022 where i couldn't walk round the cars due to the ground being so frozen.

Still i enjoyed that one & all the others so far. December 1st can't come soon enough!

Question for the PH Team:

I've booked this for the car I plan to bring.
But if the whether is ok, I'll probably bring another car.

Is this ok or am I likely to be turned away at the entrance even if I have the digital ticket in my name?

Not my experience just now, was really straightforward. What device/browser were you trying on?

The booking error on the Thruxton website should now be fixed but if anyone has further issues, please let me know. I'll post here when the booking links are ready from Mission Motorsport too.

Skid pan and track walk open for booking

Mission Motorsport have now opened up bookings for the skid pan and track walk. These are very popular and sell out quickly, so grab yours now before they sell out. All proceeds go to Mission Motorsport to help support them what they do best.

Booked onto the skid pan in the MR2, was gutted it was cancelled last year so looking forward to it! NS2R's and a cold skid pan will be entertaining
