Motor sports at Crystal Palace

Thinking of going tomorrow. Has anyone been in previous years? Worth ?15?

Well, we went. Had a great day. Loads of interesting cars, and the racing was great.

That's great. Glad you enjoyed it. Motor racing used to be a regular feature at Crystal Palace. Formula 3 and saloon car racing were very popular there. I remember as a kid living in Dulwich Village you could hear the cars going round the track from there.

Here's some old footage you may enjoy featuring the legendary Jim Clark.

I have been in previous years - I think it is great to have the motorsport there, but personally think ?15 is far too expensive. Would be better off making it, say, ?5 and having a bigger crowd. ?30 for two adults I ain't going to pay...

Thanks Jah Lush. Life really was more fun back in the olden days!
