Track Day Fleet — Portsmouth
Performance machinery matched to Hampshire's finest circuits.
McLaren 720S
525 hp naturally aspirated 4-litre flat-six, rear-wheel drive, PDK transmission, active rear-wing aerodynamics. The GT3 RS is what Porsche builds when the road is incidental. At Stansted's technical corners or Thruxton's fast sweepers, its carbon-ceramic brakes and adaptive chassis reward every degree of commitment from the first lap to the last.
Lamborghini Huracan Performante
640 hp naturally aspirated V10, ALA active aerodynamics, rear-wheel drive. The Huracan Performante set a Nürburgring production car lap record in its era. At Popham's straight it produces one of the great supercar sound experiences. On a technical circuit like Stansted, its balance and mid-corner composure reward every progression in confidence.
McLaren 720S
710 hp twin-turbo V8, 0–62 in 2.9 seconds, carbon MonoCell II chassis. The 720S is the most technically complete track car in our fleet — proactive chassis control, adjustable suspension from Comfort to Track, and an engine that delivers its full fury at almost any road speed. On a fast circuit like Thruxton, it is genuinely extraordinary.

Why Choose Our Portsmouth Track Day Service
Real supercars, real circuits, real experience — no compromises.
Real Supercars, Real Circuits
Not simulators. Not passenger rides. Not a few laps in an experience-day car with an instructor covering the brakes. You get behind the wheel of a genuine supercar — GT3 RS, Huracan Performante, or 720S — at a real Hampshire circuit and drive it properly, progressively, on your own terms from the very first session.
Professional Briefing
Every session begins with a full vehicle orientation, circuit briefing, and a graduated session structure that builds confidence at your pace. Our ARDS-qualified instructors know Stansted, Popham, and Thruxton inside out — the approach gives you the framework to push hard safely and intelligently rather than simply going fast and hoping.
Fully Insured
Comprehensive track-day insurance is included in every booking. Your excess is confirmed before you leave the briefing room — no surprises, no ambiguity on the day. Drive with total confidence knowing that every financial detail is as well-organised as the vehicle preparation and circuit logistics.

Circuits Near Portsmouth
From Thruxton — the UK's fastest circuit — to Goodwood Motor Circuit and Llandow in Wales, Portsmouth drivers have access to an exceptional variety of track day venues within a comfortable drive.
Thruxton Circuit (40 miles NW)
Thruxton in Andover, Hampshire, is the UK's fastest circuit — a 2.4-mile high-speed track with no chicanes on the main straight and a fearsome complex at Campbell/Cobb/Seagrave. It's the natural home circuit for Portsmouth-based track day enthusiasts. Lap times are impressive, the atmosphere is serious motorsport, and a McLaren 720S here is genuinely breathtaking. Drive from Portsmouth in under an hour via the A3(M) and A303. We deliver to the circuit paddock on your track day morning.
Goodwood Motor Circuit (18 miles E)
Goodwood Motor Circuit at Chichester is one of England's most atmospheric circuits — a 2.4-mile track on the Goodwood Estate, home of the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival. Track days here are in high demand given the circuit's prestige and the estate's stunning setting. From Portsmouth, it's 18 miles east via the A27 — under 30 minutes. A Porsche 911 GT3 RS or McLaren 720S on Goodwood's flowing layout is an experience you won't forget. Book track day slots early — they fill fast.
How to Book a Track Day Near Portsmouth
Choose your car. Choose your circuit. Drive on track.
1. Choose Car & Circuit
WhatsApp your preferred vehicle, circuit (Stansted, Popham, or Thruxton), and date. We confirm availability and venue capacity, plus any circuit-specific requirements such as helmet and gloves. Midweek and weekend sessions both available, including early-morning bookings for Stansted in summer.
2. Book & Brief
Deposit confirms the booking. We send a full pre-event briefing document — what to bring, what to expect, the session schedule, and detailed circuit information. On the day, you receive a vehicle orientation and track safety briefing before your first session. No surprises and no rushing at the circuit.
3. Arrive & Drive
Arrive at the circuit. Receive the keys. Drive. Sessions build gradually — installation lap, confidence laps, then open performance laps as you find your rhythm. Our team is trackside throughout, available for guidance, vehicle adjustments, and GoPro footage capture. After the session, the debrief is as valuable as the laps themselves.
Circuit Guide — Track Day Venues Near Portsmouth
Know the venue before you arrive — what each circuit offers.
Goodwood Festival of Speed
9 miles from Portsmouth. 1.4 miles, 295ft elevation gain.
Set in the grounds of Grade I listed Stansted Park, this is Britain's most prestigious hillclimb venue. The course climbs steeply through fast sweepers, tightening second-gear hairpins, and a technical crest before the finish. Surface quality is excellent throughout. Ideal for the Porsche GT3 RS and Lamborghini Performante — cars that reward mechanical grip on a shorter, highly technical layout where the driver makes the biggest difference.
Popham Airfield
18 miles east of Portsmouth. 1-mile straight, controlled environment.
A World War II airfield near York, Popham hosts land speed record attempts and supercar acceleration days on its mile-long concrete runway. For those who want to experience what 710 hp of McLaren or 640 hp of Lamborghini delivers in a straight line — safely, without traffic, without limits — there is no better venue in Hampshire. Fully marshalled. Individual timed runs available. The raw acceleration at Popham is unlike anything on a public road.
Thruxton Circuit
45 miles north of Portsmouth. 2.1-mile FIA circuit, multiple configurations.
Hampshire's premier permanent racing circuit near Darlington. Thruxton hosts BTCC, Superbike, and GT championship rounds throughout the season. The circuit combines fast flowing corners with slow technical sections — the Clervaux sweeper, Tower complex, and Jim Clark Esses each demand different technique. Full pit lane, briefing rooms, and spectator areas. Private and corporate track hire available for groups from Portsmouth and across the North.

Surprise bookings welcomed; we coordinate delivery details discreetly and professionally. Gift vouchers available for any session value. A track day memory that outlasts every other gift they have ever received.

We coordinate multi-vehicle groups at Thruxton or Stansted with timed sessions, competitive scoreboards, and the kind of shared experience that carries a party from morning to evening and beyond.
Corporate Team Events

Add-Ons & Extras
Elevate your Portsmouth track day to the next level.

GoPro or dashcam footage of your laps, provided digitally after the session. Capture every overtake, braking point, and blast down the Thruxton straight. An instant keepsake — and evidence of just how well you drove out there. Available for all vehicles at Stansted, Popham, and Thruxton Circuit.
Multi-Car Package
Drive two or three supercars in a single session — compare the GT3 RS directly against the Huracan Performante, then put the 720S up against both. Multi-car packages deliver the most illuminating track day experience available and attract a package rate that makes the comparison genuinely affordable for the insight it provides.
Professional Instructor
Book an ARDS-qualified driving coach for one-to-one tuition on braking points, racing lines, and cornering technique. Our instructors know Stansted and Thruxton in detail.

What Our Track Day Clients Say
Verified reviews from drivers across Hampshire and the North.
★★★★★
"Hired the Lamborghini Huracan Performante at Goodwood Festival of Speed for my 40th. The briefing was thorough, the car was immaculate, and the sound it makes climbing that hill at full throttle is something I will never, ever forget. The team was professional from start to finish. Already planning the next one."
— Tom H., Driving Enthusiast, Portsmouth
★★★★★
"Organised a corporate track day at Thruxton Circuit for 12 people from our Portsmouth office — three supercars, timed laps, a proper results table. The logistics were completely handled by the team. We just turned up and drove. Everyone said it was the best company event we've ever done. Genuinely faultless organisation."
— Sarah K., Events Manager, Hampshire
★★★★★
"Did the multi-car package — GT3 RS, then the Huracan Performante, then the McLaren 720S at Popham. Comparing them back to back in a straight line was genuinely revelatory. The 720S is on another level entirely. The GoPro footage is still my phone wallpaper. 10 out of 10 from start to finish."
— Daniel F., Supercar Enthusiast, Sheffield
