Television

You’ve likely encountered our venue on television screens, possibly without even realizing it. Our vast track has been chosen for numerous projects, making the most of the expansive spaces we offer. From thrilling car shoots to captivating documentaries, we’ve served as the backdrop for some remarkable TV moments.

For example, you might have seen Driftlimits on ITV’s popular Dancing On Ice series, where ITV’s studio conveniently resides on our airfield, allowing celebrities to enjoy a spin in our supercars. Similarly, BBC Click has captured awe-inspiring footage right here at our track, dedicating an entire episode to showcasing our cars and stunt team.

But we go beyond being just a filming location; we’re your premier choice for projects that require extensive open spaces, stunning vehicles, ideal lighting, or even prop cars. Our versatility knows no bounds. And let’s not forget our recent collaboration with Bloomberg TV as they filmed a captivating documentary featuring the Williams F1 team at our venue, highlighting our iconic Formula One Jordan EJ12 car. When it comes to making your TV project shine, we’re the ultimate destination.

Film

We’re rather experienced when it comes to film. Everything from the largest action blockbusters to contemporary productions, we can host and assist you with. The entire Live Aid stage for Bohemian Rhapsody was constructed on our main runway. We helped Mission Impossible with Stunt procedures. We’ve been to the movies and we’ve starred in them.

Not just a venue for your production, we can offer full professional support with videographers, photographers, drone pilots, stabilised car-mounted camera rigs and of course, the cars and drivers too.

Drift Limits are a filming location with drivers, cars, instructors, stunt performers and training all in one place.

Stunt

Work with some of the best stunt professionals in the industry directly through us, with a diverse range of racing, drifting and precision driving, we can provide not only a place for you to perform stunts, but the people that perform them. We have experience working closely with production to provide risk assessments, plan and coordinate action sequences and car chases.

From drivers fully trained in high speed tracking shots and stunt manoeuvres to the man on fire jumping from a height, we’ve got the talent and stunt doubles for productions worldwide.

If you need a practice space for your stars who like to do their own stunts or need a little help brushing up on their skills, we have dedicated space away from prying eyes and can supply consultants to help them pull off that bespoke stunt sequence and build a mock set to gain confidence for the shoot required.

Filming Location

Drift Limits, situated just outside of London, offers a versatile and exceptional filming location.

Its complex includes various areas that cater to a wide range of filming needs. From the pit and paddock hospitality suite designed with motorsport styling to the vast WWII runway with a rich history, filmmakers have access to a diverse set of backdrops.

The supercar circuit provides sweeping corners and high-speed turns, making it ideal for racing scenes, while stunt areas, including a skid pan, allow for capturing thrilling stunts.

The tight handling circuit on the runway is perfect for dynamic driving shots, and the dedicated drifting circuit adds excitement to any drift-focused scenes.
