Newquay's track day offering centres on the Spitfire Circuit at Perranporth Airfield, 8 miles south of Newquay via the A3075 to Perranporth. The Spitfire Circuit is a 3-mile blast course laid out on a historic coastal airfield — a former RAF station where Spitfires once scrambled, now offering supercar driving experiences against a backdrop of Atlantic coastline and open Cornish sky. The circuit's character is raw, open, and visceral — long straight sections for exploring a vehicle's acceleration and top-end, connected by defined turning points that test braking precision and cornering commitment. It is not a traditional race circuit, and we do not pretend otherwise — but for pure, unfiltered supercar driving in a spectacular setting, the Spitfire Circuit delivers an experience that is unique in the UK.
The Porsche 911 GT3 RS (from £1,200/day) is the natural choice for Perranporth's airfield layout — a naturally aspirated flat-six revving to 9,000 rpm with mechanical precision, rear-axle steering that sharpens turn-in at every speed, and a chassis that communicates grip levels with extraordinary clarity across the airfield's open surface. The Ferrari 488 Pista (from £1,800/day) brings 720 bhp of twin-turbo V8 fury and race-derived aerodynamics — on the Spitfire Circuit's long straight sections, the Pista's acceleration is genuinely breathtaking with the Cornish coastline as your peripheral vision. The Lamborghini Huracan Performante (from £1,500/day) delivers a naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 with active ALA aerodynamics and a soundtrack that echoes across the airfield in a way that enclosed circuits cannot replicate.
For clients seeking a full-length FIA-graded circuit experience, Castle Combe in Wiltshire is 160 miles east — approximately 2 hours 40 minutes via the A30 and M5. Castle Combe's 1.85-mile circuit has hosted motorsport since 1950 and offers a genuine racing venue with Quarry, Esses, Camp, and Bobbies — a technical layout that rewards chassis balance and driver finesse. We deliver circuit-prepared vehicles to both venues from Newquay.
We understand the Spitfire Circuit's unique character — an open airfield layout with long straights and defined turning points that rewards acceleration, braking, and commitment rather than traditional racing lines. Our briefings cover the circuit's specific demands: how to maximise the long straight sections, where to brake for the turning points, and how to exploit the open layout that allows genuine exploration of a supercar's performance envelope without the constraints of armco barriers and kerbs.
Every track day vehicle undergoes full mechanical inspection before delivery: brake fluid temperature rated for circuit use, tyre pressures set for the specific layout, fluids checked and topped, and all safety systems verified. For the Spitfire Circuit's open surface, tyre selection and pressure are particularly important — our vehicles arrive prepared specifically for the airfield environment.
Every booking includes a comprehensive briefing covering the specific layout, braking points, safety protocols, and flag signals. For Perranporth, the briefing covers the airfield's distinctive character and how to extract the most from the open layout. For Castle Combe, the briefing addresses the circuit's faster sections, the blind approach into Quarry corner, and the technical sequence through the Esses. Helmets and all safety equipment are provided.
Cornwall does not have a full-length race circuit nearby, and we will never pretend otherwise. The Spitfire Circuit at Perranporth is a brilliant airfield driving experience — raw, open, and spectacular in its coastal setting — but it is not Brands Hatch or Silverstone. For clients who want a traditional circuit experience, Castle Combe is the nearest serious venue at 160 miles. We provide the honest assessment that helps you choose the right experience.
The Spitfire Circuit at Perranporth Airfield is Newquay's nearest track driving venue, situated 8 miles south via the A3075 on the site of a former RAF coastal command station. The 3-mile blast circuit uses the airfield's runway and perimeter track to create a driving experience that is entirely unlike any purpose-built circuit — open, exposed to the Atlantic elements, with long straight sections where a Porsche GT3 RS can reach speeds that most UK circuits simply do not permit. The setting is dramatic: the Atlantic Ocean visible to the west, open Cornish countryside in every other direction, and the sense of driving on a historic airfield where Spitfires and Hurricanes once operated adds an atmospheric dimension that no modern facility can match. Track day events and driving experiences at Perranporth run throughout the year, weather permitting, with the summer season offering the longest and most reliable sessions.
Castle Combe Circuit, near Chippenham in Wiltshire, is approximately 160 miles east of Newquay — around 2 hours 40 minutes via the A30 and M5. The 1.85-mile circuit has hosted motorsport since 1950 and is one of the fastest circuits in the UK, with a layout that flows through Quarry corner, the Esses, Westway, Camp, and Bobbies chicane. Castle Combe is an FIA-graded venue with proper pit facilities, timing equipment, and regular track day sessions through established operators. For Newquay clients who want a full race circuit experience, Castle Combe is the most accessible serious venue and we deliver circuit-prepared vehicles directly to the circuit.
Cornwall does not operate a Clean Air Zone, so all vehicles can travel freely through Newquay and across North Cornwall to reach Perranporth without restriction or charge.
Experience the Spitfire Circuit's raw, open character just 8 miles from Newquay. The 3-mile airfield layout rewards acceleration and braking in a setting of extraordinary atmosphere — Atlantic views, coastal wind, and the knowledge that you are driving where wartime pilots once flew.

"The Spitfire Circuit in a Porsche GT3 RS is an experience unlike any track day I have done before. The open airfield, the Atlantic wind, the long straights where you can really let the GT3 RS stretch its legs — it is raw and exhilarating in a way that enclosed circuits cannot replicate. The briefing covered exactly what to expect and the car was in outstanding mechanical condition throughout."
"Booked the Ferrari 488 Pista for a day at Castle Combe from our holiday base in Newquay. The delivery was seamless — vehicle arrived at the circuit fully prepared with circuit-spec brake fluid and correct tyre pressures. The Pista through Castle Combe's Quarry corner and Esses is an experience I will never forget. Worth every mile of the journey from Cornwall."
"Bought my husband a Spitfire Circuit experience with the Lamborghini Huracan Performante for his 40th birthday. The sound of the V10 echoing across that open airfield with the sea in the background — he has not stopped talking about it. The whole day was brilliantly organised from start to finish."

On the morning of your track day, the vehicle undergoes full mechanical inspection and circuit preparation — brake fluid, tyre pressures, fluid levels, and safety system checks. It arrives at your chosen circuit before the driver briefing, giving you time to walk around the car and familiarise yourself before the first session.
After a comprehensive briefing covering the layout, braking points, flags, and procedures, your driving sessions begin. Our representative remains on-site throughout the day to monitor the vehicle, answer questions, and provide between-session feedback on your driving if requested.
