Bedford Autodrome car track day 16th August

With its run-off Bedford Autodrome is regarded as one of the most safe trackday venues in the UK. Primarily a corporate event venue the facilities are not like normal circuits but that doesn't put people off. The 4.1 mile "GT" circuit is what we run on and the track never feels busy or overcrowded (although the limited paddock space does take getting used too). This is a great first timers venue too as the open feel installs confidence and our instructors always rate it as a great venue to improve a drivers confidence and car control.
