Thruxton Circuit reveals sublime 2026 race meeting calendar

Thruxton Circuit is set to wow the crowds in 2026 with a spectacular calendar of motorsport events that includes action on two, four and even six wheels.

Running from mid May to late September, six blockbuster race meetings – boasting everything from some of the UK’s major championships to leading national clubs – will take centre stage at the high-speed Hampshire venue this year.

Kicking off the unmissable entertainment at the home of the British Automobile Racing Club on May 16-17 is the popular visit of the British Truck Racing Championship, which will bring with it a festival that celebrates all things trucking.

Five colossal contests from the titans of truck racing will headline proceedings while a bumper support bill, a massive show truck display and a host of fantastic family-friendly activities will add to the spectacle.

The circuit will then step back in time in early July as the annual Thruxton Retro meeting goes ‘Back to the 80s’ this year. Iconic music from the decade of decadence will entertain the masses around the track while on it, retro racing will deliver high-octane thrills.

Thruxton’s full-throttle summer then continues as both the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship and British Superbike Championship descend on the fastest circuit in the country across July and August.

Following its earlier than usual in-season break, the BTCC blasts back into life on July 25/26 with three action-packed races headlining proceedings. Speeds of almost 200mph will then be clocked less than a month later on August 14-16 as the BSB rolls into town.

Closing out the year at Thruxton will be visits from the NG Road Racing Club and then the 750 Motor Club.
