You’ve been invited to the PalmerSport driving event at Bedford Autodrome. In one perfect day you’re going to drive every high performance car featured on this website. You’re going to experience one of the most sensational and memorable days of your life. And you’re going to love it.

At PalmerSport, we boast an unrivalled pedigree of expertise. Jonathan Palmer, the man behind the organisation, has spent the last three decades steeped in motor racing excellence including a six year F1 career. During the last 15 years his focus has been on establishing the PalmerSport day as the world’s greatest corporate driving event and its extraordinary success has come from Jonathan’s obsession with quality and continual improvement.

PalmerSport is part of MotorSport Vision, owners of race tracks that include Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Snetterton. Bedford Autodrome, however, is the jewel in the corporate crown. With over 5 miles of purpose built track it is designed to be the best place on earth for driving fast cars fast and with none of the risks associated with traditional circuits. It is the perfect environment for both novices and experienced drivers to push cars to the limit and beyond in unparalleled safety.

Important Information
You should aim to arrive by 08.00 in order to allow time for registration and breakfast before the safety briefing. Even if you have been to a PalmerSport event before, you will need to watch the essential safety briefing video as this is an insurance requirement. Therefore, if you have not registered before the briefing starts, you will have to watch a replay of this video.

Please allow plenty of time for your journey, although we know that traffic can spoil the best plans, so don’t worry if you are delayed as we will get you out to join your group as soon as possible. This is likely, however, to result in the loss of some driving time. If you expect to arrive after 08.30, it would be helpful if you could advise the circuit on 01234 332400.

You will be required to produce a current driving licence at registration. For photo-card licences this means producing both the photo-card and paper counterpart. An overseas driving licence is acceptable, providing it is current and valid.

Please advise your host if you are under 21 years of age, or have a current motor racing competition licence as prior written permission to drive must be obtained. If you have any special dietary requirements, please inform our registration personnel on arrival.

Do bring your camera if you would like to.

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing, eg jeans and sweatshirt, windproof jacket and lightweight shoes suitable for performance driving. Shorts are not permitted and heavy boots or high-heeled shoes are not recommended.

Waterproof clothing will be provided if required for use in the cars with open cockpits. Helmets are provided for all activities but we recommend that you bring a thin pair of gloves.

You are most welcome to bring any wet weather gear/helmet/ driving overalls of your own, and if rain is forecast, a change of clothing may be useful. Sunglasses may be helpful if it’s sunny.

Despite the reputation of the British weather, in reality, very few days are affected by poor conditions. In any case, our event is designed to be totally weather proof with superb permanent hospitality buildings at each activity to keep you warm and dry.

Please note that PalmerSport cannot accept any responsibility for personal belongings or clothing during the event.
