Bedford Track Days: info, circuit maps and driving tips

evo magazine's home circuit, Bedford offers a unique experience for track days, with plenty of run off making it an incredibly safe circuit

Since it’s opening in 1999, Bedford Autodrome has grown in popularity amongst the trackday faithful, and for good reason. With no Armco surrounding the circuit, no racing is able to take place. The benefit of this for trackdays is that the track possesses large run off areas. This makes it one of the safest circuits in the UK and it also helps to lower the risk of damaging your car if an incident is to take place.

Despite lacking any gradient or features, the circuit combines a variety of corners that require skill and patience to master. The track houses multiple configurations, however the most popular one for trackdays is the South-West layout. This is a combination of the South and West circuit configurations and provides the most varied and entertaining lap. This configuration as well as all the others are used regularly by Palmer Motorsport which runs the circuit.
