Knowles Palmer Sports Day

Last week, Knowles hosted a thrill-seeking, action packed day at Palmer Sports to celebrate and connect with teams, clients, and friends from across our industry.

Hosted at the famous Bedford Autodrome, and founded by former professional racing driving Jonathan Palmer, three teams were selected to race and battle for a range of prizes. Competitive streaks came out and pedals were put to the metal on what was an incredibly exciting (albeit slightly wet) day of driving.

The teams all had the opportunity to race a Formula 3000, a Caterham Seven, the Palmer JP-LM, a BMW M4 GTP, a Land Rover Defender, the Sodi GT5 Karts and the new Ginetta G56 GTA – a collection unique to Palmer Sports.
