You must bring your driving licence on the day. Failure to do so will result you in you not being able to participate.

Please arrive at 07:45 in order to allow time for registration and breakfast before the safety briefing. Even if you have been to a Bedford Autodrome event before, you will need to watch the essential safety briefing video as this is an insurance requirement.
Where required, Bedford Autodrome provide helmets for all activities. Their helmets are fitted with an intercom system to allow constant communication with your Instructor. As a result, if you do wish to bring your own helmet, you may only wear this in the single-seater vehicles.
Please feel free to bring your own camera if you would like to. Please note however, that due to safety requirements you will be unable to use your own camera or video camera for any in car pictures or footage.
We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing, e.g. jeans and sweatshirt, windproof jacket and lightweight shoes suitable for performance driving. Shorts and high heels are not permitted and heavy or wide soled shoes are not recommended. Waterproof clothing will be provided, if required, for use in the cars with open cockpits. Helmets are provided for all activities except off road. You are welcome to bring any driving overalls and driving gloves/wet weather gear of your own, and if rain is forecast a change of clothing may be useful.
