Proving to be an instant smash-hit, the three-day event saw fans pour through the gates in their droves to soak up live music, historic racing, full-throttle demonstrations, eye-catching displays and much more.

From an entertainment perspective, the Hampshire venue saw its paddock transformed to guarantee fun for all the family and on the main stage, that was delivered as Australian ABBA tribute act Björn Again headlined proceedings on Saturday.

Earth Wind for Hire supported them beforehand and come Sunday it was over to the 9 to 5 Show, a Dolly Parton tribute, as well as the Show Ponies and Weird Science, to bring the house down and more importantly, bring the noise.

If the soundtrack away from the circuit was good then the one on it was simply phenomenal, with the weekend beginning with the Chris Harris Trackday attracting an eclectic mix of multi-million pound machines.

Come Saturday and Sunday it was classic machines from Formula 1 that echoed around the fastest circuit in the country as they took part in a number of high-speed demonstrations – a rare sight that is always great to see at Thruxton.

From a racing perspective, the coveted Jochen Rindt Trophy was a fan favourite as the iconic single-seater machines rolled back the years. Chris Porritt and Rory Smith proved to be the cream of the crop as they tallied a win apiece.

The British Automobile Racing Club’s very own Adrian Flux Insurance MG Owners Club Championship was also in action, with James Cole and Jake McDermid claiming a hard-fought victory apiece.
