  • I was invited to the ultimate track experience at Palmer Sport, Bedford Autodrome. Easily the best day of driving I have ever done. Such a range of cars and the instructors really push you beyond your limits.
    You drive Caterhams, Renault Clio Cup Race Cars (which I blew up !), JP-LM Sports Prototype, F3000 Single Seater, Go-Karts, Land Rover Defender and finish of with the all new BMW M2 Competition.

    Love it and glad you've managed to experience these awesome days. Lucky enough to have bee twice and driven the mix of cars as the line up changed for each visit (first ever group in the atoms). First time I went we did single seater before le man car, wow that was an experience!!! Nice video to an insight for all on how hard the instructors push everyone that goes to drive the cars hard, but safe too 👌

    GREETINGS from Memorial Day in the Colonies, Lad! I've gotten behind on your channel and did a fair piece of 'KETCHUP' today. You've really come into your own with this 2nd career/hobby/passion on RUclips. The great American author Tom Wolfe penned a powerful novel entitled with a term which comes to mind when I watch your channel. The book was A Man In Full and the title expresses just what I felt while just finishing your pieces on the Wraith, the Superleggera, the Mini GT3, the Conti GT and...then this was last. All were very well done, thoughtful and insightful each displays a focused portrayal of a man doin' just what he loves. You seem a man in full, brother. Thank you.

    Hi Ped
    What a great day👍👍 Thanks for sharing. Like 1Bluemeanie I went to Johnathon Palmer race school at Bruntingthorpe on a corporate invite. We were split into teams so very competitive from start. After lunch it was the Caterhams, but my back was playing up, and I had to have extra padding on the seat back! Managed to secure fastest time, but next day discovered I had a slipped disc.😂😂😂
