An evening at the world's greatest driving event, on us
You are invited to the Managed247 PalmerSport Sunset Event
On Tuesday 30 June 2026, Managed247 is hosting a complimentary evening for technology and business leaders at PalmerSport, Bedford Autodrome, MK44 2YP. From 15:45 to 20:45 you will swap the boardroom for the racetrack, with one-to-one instruction from professional racing drivers, full hospitality, and time to network with peers and our cloud technology partners. There is no cost to attend.
Five cars. One unforgettable afternoon.
Under the guidance of professional instructors, you will take the wheel of five very different machines. Every driving session is timed, and trophies are awarded to the quickest drivers of the day.
- Ginetta G56 GTA: a 3.7-litre V6 GT racer, 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds.
- Palmer JP-LM: a Le Mans-style prototype with a Cosworth V6, 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.
- Formula 3000: a 250 bhp single-seater with genuine F1-style aerodynamics.
- Sodi GT5 kart: a Honda-powered kart for a pure, low-slung track experience.
- Hyundai IONIQ 5 N: a high-performance electric car for an untimed taster of the future.
How the evening runs
- 15:45 Arrival and afternoon tea in the hospitality suite.
- 16:15 Safety briefing and an overview of the evening.
- 16:45 Timed driving sessions with one-to-one professional instruction.
- 20:00 Barbecue dinner and the trophy presentation.
- 20:45 Departure.
Who it is for
The evening is designed for technology and business leaders from medium and large organisations who would value a few hours away from the desk in good company. Representatives from Microsoft and Arrow ECS will be on hand, so there is plenty of opportunity to talk cloud, security and the year ahead between sessions.
