VIPs training in it hurtle around circuit the wrong way! (6-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

palace-car

'vips training in it' is the definition.
(part of a train used by VIPs)

'hurtle around circuit the wrong way' is the wordplay.
'hurtle' becomes 'race' (both can mean to rush around).
'around' becomes 'ca' (circa).
'circuit' becomes 'lap' (synonyms).
'the wrong way' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'race'+'ca'+'lap'='racecalap'
'racecalap' in reverse letter order is 'PALACE-CAR'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
