PalmerSport[edit]
PalmerSport was created in 1991 by Jonathan Palmer, ex-F1 driver and Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision. PalmerSport is a driving day retailer based at Bedford Autodrome, a specialist track day circuit created by Jonathan Palmer in 2000. Bedford Autodrome's large run-off areas and lack of ARMCO barriers make it safe for beginners to find their limits.[1]. PalmerSport moved to the circuit in July 2000, having previously been based at Bruntingthorpe race track.
PalmerSport runs between March and December, and caters for particpiants of any ability (though age limits do apply).[2] PalmerSport has attracted positive reviews from a number of guests, enthusiasts[3] and media like Autotrader[4] and Nuts magazine.[5]
PalmerSport is capable of catering for up to 120 guests each day, and exclusive events can be booked for large groups.[6]

Bedford Autodrome[edit]
Bedford Autodrome is built on the northern section of the former site of the Royal Aerospace Establishment, Bedford airbase. It was designed to be driven by high performance road cars and as such has larger than usual run off areas. It does not have sections of Armco safety barriers which would potentially damage a car if it left the track. Because the track has no Armco it is not eligible to hold races there or have an area for spectators because of the inability to ensure their safety [9]
