It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally been confirmed that Crystal Palace will once again play host to a national motor sport event, with a two-day sprint over the May Bank Holiday weekend (30-31 May).

Organised by Sevenoaks and District Motor Club, a host of modern and vintage cars will be competing on a section of the old track, incorporating Pond Hairpin, the Big Tree Bend, part of the Terrace Straight and the infamous North Tower Crescent.

Crystal Palace was Britain’s first purpose-built race track, opened in May 1899. It was a popular venue but was closed in 1972 due to a lack of funds, needed to redevelop the track.
Tickets for the new event are just £10 a day per person.
