General

Can I bring spectators?

Driving at Bedford Autodrome is like no other track experience; there are no barriers or grandstands. As such, whilst there are a handful of viewing areas for watching the action on circuit, spaces are limited. We can sometimes accommodate a small number of spectators at an additional charge - please contact us for details.

Can I bring a camera?

You are very welcome to bring a camera or GoPro to your event, however due to our safety requirements, you will not be allowed to use these when you are inside the vehicles, nor can GoPros be mounted to the cars themselves.

I'm outside your height and weight guideline; Can I still attend?

We try our very best to accommodate all guests outside of our height and weight guidelines of 18 stone (115KG) and 5' to 6' 4" (153 cm to 193 cm).

If you fall outside these measurements, please contact us so that we can advise further.

Are the instructors trained to deal with nervous drivers?

Yes - rest assured that our instructors very quickly establish a rapport with all our guests to understand their level of experience, ability level and confidence.

No matter what level you start the day, our instructors' encouragement and coaching will allow you to gain maximum satisfaction and enjoyment from your time in our cars, no matter how nervous you are!

Logistics

What should I wear?

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing such as jeans, a t-shirt and jumper, along with slim-fitting shoes. Shorts and high heels are not permitted and you will be asked to wear our overalls or plimsolls should you arrive in either. Wide, heavy-soled boots or shoes are not recommended. Of course if you have your own race suit, gloves or boots, please do feel free to wear these.

Can I bring my own helmet?

Where required, we provide helmets for all activities. These are fitted with an intercom system to allow constant communication with your PalmerSport Instructor. As a result, if you do wish to bring your own helmet, you may only wear this during the single-seater activity.

What happens if it is raining?

In reality, there are very few days that are affected by poor weather conditions. Our event is designed to be totally weather proof, with heated hospitality suites alongside each of our circuits and full wet weather clothing to keep you warm and dry when in the open cockpit cars.

Can I use my company branding?

Whilst our Shared events do not provide any branding opportunities, our Exclusive days offer many options as standard. These include having your logo displayed on your PDF invitation brochure, and on our TV screens in your exclusive Hospitality Centre.
