Convoy on the Plain makes a triumphant return to Thruxton Circuit this weekend (July 9/10) where
a bumper crowd is expected to flock trackside for an action-packed two days of family fun both on
and off the circuit.
In what continues to be one of the most popular events on the Thruxton calendar each year,
the weekend will be headlined by the British Truck Racing Championship – which resumes its 2022
season after a two-month summer break.
Weighing in at more than five tonnes and producing in excess of 1000bhp, there really is nothing
quite like the titans of truck racing and with five races scheduled to take place, blockbuster thrills
and spill are all-but guaranteed.
The passion for trucks doesn’t stop there though as Convoy on the Plain will ensure there is
something for everyone. One of the highlights of every Convoy event is the jaw-dropping array of
show trucks and this weekend should be no different, with more than 100 machines set to be in
attendance.
Additional attractions at Thruxton include a supercar display, trade village, kids funfair, stilt walkers,
fire-breathers and live music – as well as food and drinks being available from the Thruxton Centre.
Of course it isn’t just the BTRC that will have fans on the edge of their seats as a host of other
British Automobile Racing Club championships will also take centre stage around the fastest circuit
in the UK.
Wheel-to-wheel entertainment from the Classic Touring Car Racing Club, Lancaster Insurance MG
Owners Club Championship, Pickup Truck Racing Championship, Carbon8 Coupe Cup, Sports
2000 Championship and CALM All Porsche Trophy is also set to feature.
Tickets to the event will be available to purchase on the gate across the weekend, priced at £17 on
Saturday and £20 on Sunday. Children 15 and under are admitted for free when accompanied by
an adult.
Programmes will also be available to buy from various vendors around the circuit. Camping is
available for spectators and is free of charge. Further information can be found via
