Before anyone can truly enjoy all the cars have to offer, they need to feel confident and secure in their surroundings. That’s why we built the Bedford Autodrome complex to be both supremely challenging yet totally safe, regardless of which one of the four separate circuits you are using. It’s why our instructors are only of the highest calibre and why the only place our cars spend more time than on the track is in the workshop, being meticulously serviced and maintained by our professional team of race engineers and mechanics.

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]
