Testing at Thruxton

There are no more General Testing opportunities available in 2012 and the next opportunities will now be in 2013.

During 2012 there have been two half-days of testing in February, tests which are exclusive to BTCC Support race competitors and BSB competitors, as well as a half-day of testing available prior to two BARC Meetings during the year, where priority was given to those racing that weekend.

No testing remains available:

During 2012 the testing was split during the day into sessions as shown below and it is likely that the 2013 testing opportunities will be the same

The session times and content will be confirmed later but are likely to be as follows :

  • 1300 to 1355; Saloons
  • 1400 to 1455; Single-Seaters
  • 1500 to 1555; Saloons
  • 1600 to 1655; Single-Seaters

The cost of the General Test Sessions (inclusive of Vat) during 2012 are:

  • BARC Club Members; one session £165
