PalmerSport is a truly authentic motorsport experience without limits. Held at the purpose-built Bedford Autodrome, spacious run-off areas allow participants the unique freedom to drive our collection of high-performance cars harder and faster than anywhere else in the world.
Available as a full day or a range of half day options, all PalmerSport events offer an 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 Formula 1 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.

Most importantly, this is the full-blown PalmerSport offering, with eight entirely different driving activities where we’ll actively encourage your need for speed.
The special price is £885 plus VAT (£1,062 inc VAT) per person, including damage cover. And there is live timing on all our circuit cars with a prizegiving at the end of the event, so you’ll be left in no doubt over who was the fastest!
Every guest will drive all of these cars in one perfect day:
• BMW M4 GTP
• Ginetta G56 GTA
• Formula 3000 single-seater
• Palmer JP-LM sports prototype
• Caterham Seven - PalmerSport edition
