PalmerSport
 
I'm doing a PalmerSport day next week. Looks amazing, and all the reviews are fantastic.

Anyone done this one?

Yup, did it twice in 2002 and 2003 I think. Great fun, lots of top end motors and plenty of unregulated black stuff to chew up.

Enjoy +++

I set up a competition at one of my previous employers for all the builders merchant staff - if they placed over a certain value of order then they got 1 entrant to the "grand prix"

Stage 1 was a local go kart centre and the top 3 drivers went through to regional finals which were Stage 2 at a regional outdoor go-kart track with twin engined pro-karts. The 3 winners from each regional heat went through to a Palmersport day at bedford autodrome (which was the main attraction!) and then the winner of the day at Palmersport (judged by the instructors) won an all expenses paid trip for 2 to the Belgian grand prix.

Had a go at Palmersport myself on that day (along with the main group buyer of the merchants of course!) and it was one of the best motorsport days ive ever had, awesome fun and great instructors - have fun!!! +++

I've done it 5 times as a corporate event for our customers. Not for the last few years though due to recession and the fact I was beaten by two girls last time :(

My favourite event is the single seater, now that they have the paddle shift box you really can run them properly through the gears. The grip is unbelievable, when you think you just cant go faster, you can! The instructors are top notch (Lewis was there our first year) and they push you harder than you would push yourself.

An intense experience that our customers still talk about years after and I have not found a better event anywhere in the UK.

The new video & telemetry feature looks brilliant, now you can bore everyone else with your laps. Enjoy!
