I have spent today as a guest of RBS Invoice Finance (thanks guys!) at the Palmer Sport corporate driving event at Bedford Autodrome.

There's been some networking - but most time has been spent on the track in one of 9 performance cars - including the Jaguar XKR pictured above, which I absolutely loved.

I'm not the most sporty or competitive person in the world, and I'm not a petrolhead - but I managed some very respectable lap times, and overtook quite a few of my fellow drivers much to the approval of my instructor.

In the Jaguar XKR my best lap time put me 13th out of 85 people there on the day.
