The organisers of the rescheduled Thruxton Historic Festival contacted us to advise that barring any changes to Covid-related policy so only are they are going to be able to run the event but they will be able to allow spectators to attend, and they were particular keen to get a strong Car Club presence at the event. Accordingly, we’ve signed up Abarth Owners Club, for both days. Tickets must be bought in advance, to guarantee admission. The club discount code is AOC20TH which gives you a 50% saving on the on the day price as well as a Car Club parking pass.

Updated information regarding the event and FAQs can be found on the event page. This was a new event for 2019, and I've not been to it, but I believe that you will get something not unlike the Donington Historic and Silverstone Classic events, if not quite as sizeable.
