With Aspire Track Car Hire’s support, you’ll experience Thruxton’s thrill in a car that builds trust and handles predictably lap after lap.​​​​​

​​

Allard

Flat-out right-hander off the pit straight. Stay left, keep your foot down, and commit early.

 

Campbell

First part of the Complex. Brake hard in a straight line. Use the Clio’s front-end grip to turn in confidently.

 

Cobb

Tight right immediately after Campbell. Rotate the car and prepare for the acceleration zone into Seagrave.

 

Seagrave

Medium-speed right-hander. Late apex, be smooth on throttle to carry speed onto the fast section.

 

Noble

Fast left-hand kink taken flat. Stay committed and smooth—this sets up the entire high-speed run.

 

Goodwood

Very fast right-hander. Use all the track on entry and exit. Keep the car stable and look far ahead.

 

Village

Flat-out kink. Position the car correctly for the run to Church. Small corrections only.

 

Church

Arguably the fastest and most famous corner in the UK. Keep it tidy, avoid early turn-in, and stay off the kerb on exit.

 

Brooklands

Fastest part of the circuit. Use this section to breathe, check mirrors, and prepare for braking.

 

Club Chicane

Heavy braking zone. Brake hard and late, then be tidy through the left-right-left sequence. Focus on exit for the pit straight.

Thruxton Clio 200 Driving Tips

Thruxton demands smooth, committed driving and clever momentum management. Here are four key tips to get the best out of your Aspire Track Car Hire Renault Clio 200:

  • Focus on clean exits from Seagrave and the Chicane to maximise speed through long straights.

  • Stay smooth and progressive with steering and throttle inputs to maintain balance at high speed.

  • Commit to fast corners like Goodwood and Church, but respect the limits—early lift-offs can destabilise the car.

  • Use the Clio’s agility and braking power to your advantage in the Complex and Club Chicane, where precision counts.
