A review and some talk through laps of the fastest circuit in England - Thruxton. I also calculate how much the complete track day cost including fuel, tyres and brakes.
00:00 The circuit
01:08 The laps
07:16 My thoughts
07:37 The car
08:06 The cost
10:24 Traction control

I looked for something like this a few years ago before a track day at Thruxton but found nothing. Need this for all the tracks in Britain. Great content

Going to Thuxton in August! Hoping to take my NC MX5 some day. Funnily enough, I saw you at the mx5 meet on Sunday!😂

They've really dialled in this MX-5. Can't wait to get one at some point. Great to see how much you can put it through and it just doesn't really care. Great video as always

Lucky enough to live 10 minutes down the road from Thruxton, great circuit, loads of fun. Nice video!

Thruxton looks fun. I’d love to get my ‘23 MX-5 Club on the track.

Nice driving as usual Richard mate

That looks like fun. Maybe I'll try Thruxton as my next track day

Great driving. Thruxton is a properly old school circuit, rewarding when it goes right

Awesome, I really would like to do something like this but can't really justify the cost/wear on my sole car right now Great driving and commentary, love your videos

Hope you enjoyed the MX5 National Rally. It would be interesting to see more of the traction control system in the wet and how well it works.

Really enjoyed the video, I've yet to do a trackday and your prep guides were helpful in getting the basics before I dive in

Nice one mate

The thing I like about your videos, is that they feel real. You go to the point and enjoy your car. I bought a 2024 ND2 myself, about to reach the 1000km of break-in. Apart from not driving it hard and not maintaining a constant speed for long periods of time as the manual recommends, did you do anything else in your break-in period? Greetings from Chile!

@RichardFanders Ай бұрын

Thank you. I didn't do anything special for break in, I just did what you have done. Actually, I did do an early oil change after the break in.

Always liked thruxton. It's my second closest track after castle coombe. Shame its not as well known internationally as other more nationally focused tracks like oulton park.

@level10boy Ай бұрын

Sounds perfect for my GR86

@AmaanKhan-te8ll Ай бұрын

Do you drive to track with track brakes, and what is it like driving on the road with them ?

@reecedawson6113 Ай бұрын

I love Thruxton but I've only cycled and ran round it many times 😂

@markzhang7796 Ай бұрын

Just a quick question do you turn tcs off when on track?

@RichardFanders Ай бұрын

Yes, I always have it off unless I forget.

Would you go to a track in europe? could be fun

Nice driving. I got an idea. Collaborate with Jimmy Broadbent and race your MX-5 against his. On this track or a different one.

Try this in your corolla touring

😂 The hybrid system runs out of power if you floor it for too long, then it's just the engine which isn't very powerful. Did this going up the Alps in Austria.
