Bedford Autodrome is built on the northern section of the former site of the Royal Aerospace Establishment, Bedford airbase. It was designed to be driven by high performance road cars and as such has larger than usual run off areas. It does not have sections of Armco safety barriers which would potentially damage a car if it left the track. Because the track has no Armco it is not eligible to hold races there or have an area for spectators because of the inability to ensure their safety [8]
