PalmerSport is once again partnering with Ginetta Cars to provide one of its guests the opportunity to become a racing driver and win a full-time drive in the 2025 Ginetta GT Academy. A limited number of spaces remain on the upcoming assessment days on Tuesday 3 or Wednesday 4 December – so there’s still time to put yourself in the frame!
These bespoke assessment days at Bedford Autodrome include driving and coaching at the wheel of our Caterham PalmerSport Edition and Palmer JP-LM in addition to the Ginetta G56 GTA itself.
Contestants will also take to the track for solo timed laps, before our most senior instructors pick four finalists to progress to a deciding shootout at the same venue on Thursday 12 December. This shootout will include laps in the PalmerSport Ginetta alongside the venue's two most senior instructors, after which the final two contenders will be selected, followed by laps in the Ginetta race car itself to determine the ultimate winner. The final two will also receive a fully paid ARDS race licence test.
The chosen winner will claim a sensational package which includes:
- Use of a PalmerSport branded Ginetta G56 GTA race car, for all race weekends across 2025
- Ginetta mechanical and technical support
- Coaching, storage and preparation
- Full VIP Ginetta hospitality for the winner and two guests at each round
- Ginetta branded race suit
The estimated final prize value for the winner is approximately £100,000 - all of which will be covered by Ginetta Cars.
The entry fee for either assessment day is £1,500 plus VAT per person. A maximum 64 places will be available, so book now to avoid disappointment. For further details and to secure your place on one of the assessment dates, call 01403 733 999 or email sales@palmersport.com

The competition is open to any previous PalmerSport participant over the age of 21 who has never previously held a race licence.
