Safe (relatively), well organised, well run venue to put your car through its paces. Most experienced drivers are respectful and considerate towards newbies.

There's nothing else like palmersport this side of buying a drive in a single seater.
It's the only experience with instructors who will push you until you spin off the track, then laugh (because the tracks have nothing to run into -- it's purpose built to avoid collisions)

The best activity experience you will do in the UK! Just returned from my second visit to Palmer Sport and it was every bit as good as I remember from the first time. The day is incredibly well organised and professional, the catering was excellent and staff attentive and fun. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves cars and/or adrenaline junkies!

The best driving experience day money can buy, you'll be pushed to your max and there's no shame in going over the limit, it was actually encouraged at times!
The cars are all full spec and there are no artificial track limits imposed like I've seen at other experiences.

What a place, was a little sceptical, who gives you the drivers seat to these sorts of cars and just lets you loose? Well these do. I had a feeling the m2 wasn’t running full power but had a great day. From start to finish was brilliant. All the staff lovely and the instructors are great, think I scared the guy in the clios, couldn’t quite get to grip with them. 😂 keep it up. Breakfast lunch and evening tea was great too.

I've done quite a few track days with different companies over the years, this one blows them out the water. Everything you are disappointed you can't do on other track days you can really really push here and extremely well organised and run. O can't recommend it enough and it's worth every penny

Tuition was brilliant, Sally & the team leaders were great, really added something to the times in between drives.
I didnt expect to be allowed to push the cars as much as you can, fantastic and would definitely go back
