Originally built in 1940 as RAF Thruxton, a World War II airfield and home to both the RAF and USAF, the site was used for troop-carrying aircraft and gliders during the D-Day landings. In 1946 it was decommissioned and from 1950 it was used for motorsport. Motorcycling was the first sport to be staged there, with four-wheeled racing commencing from 1952.

Thruxton is one of the fastest circuits on the British Superbike Championship calendar and one which has hosted events as varied as World Endurance motorcycles, European F2 cars and trucks. The demands of the circuit range from the long, fast straights and flowing corners to tight, demanding Complex and Chicane sections.

The British Superbike Championship round at Snetterton is one of the fastest on the calendar and with top speeds of nearly 200mph, this really is the round to see superbikes at their flat-out best. Lots of slipstreaming followed by heavy braking means that there are always plenty of overtaking opportunities at Snetterton. For sheer speed the long Revett Straight provides amazing slip-streaming action prior to the left-right flick through the Esses and the Bomb Hole where extensive works have been carried out in terms of run-off area. Major investments have been made in the facilities for both competitors and spectators under the progressive management of the MotorSport Vision group.
