# Thruxton Skid Pan
Thruxton Skid Pan, located in Andover, specialises in practical defensive driving training delivered on a purpose-built skid pan facility. They teach drivers how to maintain control of their vehicle when traction is lost—replicating the hazardous conditions of wet or icy roads—through hands-on instruction from professional racing instructors.
The business serves a broad clientele: everyday drivers seeking to improve their safety skills, families wanting to learn together, junior drivers aged 12+, corporate groups, and enthusiasts willing to pay premium rates for bespoke one-to-one tuition. Their fleet includes both front and rear-wheel-drive vehicles (MINI Cooper, Porsche Cayman, Caterham Seven, and others), enabling participants to experience how different drivetrains behave when grip is compromised.
What distinguishes Thruxton is their motorsport pedigree. Operating for over 35 years, they leverage genuine racing expertise rather than generic driving instruction. Their 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating reflects consistent customer satisfaction. The skid pan itself is purpose-built and represents a significant investment in creating safe, controlled learning environments—a stark contrast to amateur alternatives.
Pricing tiers accommodate various budgets and preferences, from starter experiences at £119 to exclusive corporate hire options. Their fixed-date promotional offers (currently 25% discount) make premium experiences more accessible, whilst private instruction packages deliver completely tailored training.
