Bedford Autodrome SW

The Bedford Autodrome is a state-of-the-art road course paved in 2010 resulting from the vision of British Formula 1 Racer Jonathan Palmer in a former Royal Aircraft Establishment in Thurleigh, 10 miles north of Bedford, England. The climate in Bedfordshire tends to be wet and cloudy,  so racing on wet track surface is a common occurrence at this raceway. The complex is customizable in several layouts, with the GT Circuit and the West Circuit being the most remarkable ones. The Bedford Autodrome does not have metal or concrete barriers in any part of its trajectory but only ample run-off areas to allow braking space for out-of-track vehicles. This design particularity means there cannot be an audience around the track, and thus the road course is only used for training, testing, and open lapping. 

There are 18 corners in the 3.8-mile (6.11-km) GT Circuit and ten in the 1.8-mile (2.89-km) West Circuit. A vertical gain of 29 feet (8.83 meters) across the trajectory and the combination of long straight segments with tight angle corners add up to create a challenging raceway every motorsport lover would enjoy racing on. The average speed on Bedford Autodrome is 78 mph (125 km/h), with the highly technical trajectory of the track limiting velocities in favor of higher control and maneuverability.
