Rounds 7 and 8 | Team Tofty at Thruxton | Hampshire

Thruxton has a reputation for a reason. It’s fast, committed and the kind of circuit that asks you to be brave in all the right places. When you get into a rhythm there, it feels brilliant, but it also has a way of reminding you very quickly if you’re not precise enough.

What makes Thruxton so special is the speed you carry through the lap. It rewards confidence, but not recklessness — you still have to be accurate, still have to place the car properly, and still have to think ahead because everything comes at you that bit quicker. On a circuit like this, commitment and discipline have to go hand in hand.

Mid-summer always feels like a key point in the season, and a venue like Thruxton has the potential to make it even more significant. It’s one I’m really excited about, because fast circuits always have their own kind of challenge and atmosphere. I think it should make for a brilliant weekend of racing.

If you’re following Team Tofty this year, let me know you’re watching by RSVPing — it would be brilliant to know who’s cheering us on from home.
