PalmerSport guests spend a full day driving an unrivalled collection of performance cars, against the clock, at Bedford Autodrome. Our spacious run-off areas allow participants the unique freedom to drive harder and faster than anywhere else in the world, with outstanding safety, in an inspiring environment with superb food and hospitality.
PalmerSport offers a heart-stopping, exhilarating and unforgettable driving experience, whether you join us as an individual with family or friends, or as part of a corporate group.
PalmerSport is about more than just driving. Our entire venue has been engineered to offer comfortable surroundings, all-weather protection and catering of the highest standard. All our suites overlook the track, so even when you are networking or socialising, you are right by the action. And from the moment you arrive, you will be looked after by our exceptional hosts and instructors.
Former F1 driver, BBC commentator and multiple race circuit owner Jonathan Palmer established PalmerSport nearly 30 years ago. He wanted to find a way to share his passion for motorsport, 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 driving experience in the world and the dominant market leader.
