Our Manchester office sales team and clients spent an adrenalin-packed day at Palmer Sports in Bedford this week, competing against the clock & each other in a wide range of performance cars.
First out of the pits were the Caterham 7 Sprints, followed by BMW GTP 44s and then the biggest challenge, the single seat Formula 3000s. Lunch was followed by runs out in the Palmer Jaguar JP-LM, Ariel Atoms, a race round the go-kart track and finally a Land Rover off-road challenge.

These funds will contribute towards much needed research into bone scanning which can help provide a more accurate diagnosis.
