Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 www.motorsportatthepalace.co.uk Theres been a couple of posts on the forum briefly mentioning this already. This weekend Sat 26th and Sunday 27th May racing will return to the Crystal Palace circuit for a 2 day sprint in the park on a section of the old circuit, as with previous years they'll also be a large number of classic cars on display and a few trade stands. The competition cars will be parked up amongst the trees in the park and the paddock is very much open and accessible to the public for them to walk around safely. I've attended the previous 2 years as a spectator and this year will be competing at the event for the first time on the Sunday, If you see me come and say hello I shall be in car 81 An entry list of cars competing on each of the days can be found here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flakey Racer Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I was just about to enquire who might be going, or participating. I went last year, it was a good day out and unusal to see the park used for such an event, though well organised. I will definitely be going again with a few friends this year though I had planned on going on Saturday as it's more convenient for the others. If we do go on Sunday I'll definitely come say hello, either way I wish you luck Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks, there should be a couple of us there from the WSCC and I believe Windy will be taking his Escort. I should be around on Saturday too, so I also get to watch some of the racing if you see anyone wearing WSCC merchandise and taking lots of photos it'll probably be me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if you spot something loud and orange entering the car park give me a shout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon besant Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I am not going to be there on Sunday now (Was meant to be car 80) as the front chassis had broken up. Luckily I found it when starting the prep for this event. Found 8 breaks so far how the front was still in place I will never know. Hope the day goes well for you.
