PalmerSport’s philosophy is unlike any other driving experience: to actively encourage its participants to drive as fast as they wish. That is why Bedford Autodrome, centrally located in England just 50 miles north of London, was designed with flat-out driving, not motor racing, in mind. There are no concrete walls or spectator grandstands - just endless run-off and acres of grass.
With the comfort of knowing there is nothing to hit but the rev limiter, and a professional instructor sitting right alongside coaching them, guests have the confidence to push our cars – and themselves – harder and faster than they thought possible.

PalmerSport is about more than just flat-out driving. Our entire site has been engineered to offer comfortable surroundings, all-weather protection, and catering of the highest standard. And from the moment you arrive, you will be looked after by our exceptional hosts and team leaders. All our suites are located right by the circuits, so even when you are networking or socialising, you will never be far from the action.
Former F1 driver, BBC commentator and multiple race circuit owner Jonathan Palmer founded PalmerSport more than 30 years ago. Jonathan was determined to find a way to share his passion for motorsport with others, and to recreate the exhilaration that only comes from being behind the wheel of a racing car. That philosophy has endured, and PalmerSport remains the best and most prestigious driving experience in the world - nothing else comes close.
Bragging rights are always at stake at PalmerSport, but especially so on our dedicated Friends and Family days. Our next date of the season will be Saturday 25 October, priced at just £995 plus VAT per person.
