Bike Shed Racing Circuit Series

Thruxton Circuit, Andover, Hampshire, SP11 8PN
9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th April 2024

Circuit racing on the fastest track in the country (for cars)! Whether you’re looking to build your bike racing experience or you’ve been doing it for years, Thruxton’s wide and undulating 3.79km circuit is a great place to do it.

Racing for everyone with separate starts for E/1/2/3 Open, 3/4 Open and E/1/2/3/4 Women. All of the races are timed so you complete as many laps as you can in the time allocated to the race (see schedule).

In the majority of cases you will be shown a lap board that tells you have many laps left to race and this start with 3 to go, then 2 to go and finally 1 to go, this will be joined by a ringing bell. Because there are 3 separate races on the circuit at the same time the number boards will be coloured, with a different colour being used for each race. This can sound a little confusing if you’ve not done it before so please drop us a message to [email protected] with any queries.
