Thruxton Circuit deal with ticketing and have a ‘Buy with Confidence’ message - Should the circuit be unable to admit spectators ticket buyers will have the option to transfer their tickets or request a full refund.

NEW FORMAT FOR CROFT AND MALLORY PARK TRACKDAYS We are now running a Lotus Seven Club exclusive day for Lotus seven and Caterham cars only. The format of our Croft and Mallory Park trackdays has changed because we are no longer sharing these days with another club. I am regularly asked if we can run Open Pit Lane (OPL) groups for those drivers who are not novices and also if we can run more trackday’s for novices. We have therefore decided to make the most of this opportunity as follows. We will be running two groups every hour at both Croft and Mallory Park. The first group will be a 40 minute open pit lane session every hour for Intermediate and Experienced drivers. The second group will be a 20 minute session every hour for novice drivers. We will recruit additional instructors for the novice group and there will be no additional charge for this instruction. This is the first time we have had the chance to have exclusivity at these two circuits and the first time we have run this format. Tell your novice trackday friends that we are offering a great opportunity tailor made for novices. Please also tell your friends who prefer OPL that we are offering OPL all day. Go to your LoveAdmin account on our website to book. Regards
