A Day of Thrill, Action & Speed at PalmerSport

Thrill, action, speed and friendly competition. Last week, Knowles hosted an unforgettable day at PalmerSport, bringing together clients and friends from across the industry for an action-packed day on the track.

With near perfect conditions and a (relatively) dry circuit, the competitive spirit was in full force as everyone chased the fastest lap time. It was a close call, but in the end, Team Mercedes secured the win!

To add to the usual excitement, this year participants took part in the JP-LM Super Ride, a high-speed passenger experience at genuine race pace.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and congratulations to the individual winners and Team Mercedes.
