Crystal Palace is one of the oldest motor sport venues in the world. It staged its first motor race back in 1899 and since then it’s played host to some fantastic motor racing involving some of the sport’s greatest names.

From its early days as an improvised venue for enthusiasts, through the 1920s and 1930's when huge crowds came to cheer on the local Glaziers motorcycle speedway team, right up until the circuit closed in 1972, Crystal Palace really was ‘London’s Own Circuit’.

Fast forward to 2016 and once again Sevenoaks & District Moto Club and Live Promotions Events returned to the venue to host  Motorsport at the Palace, a celebration  of Motoring attracting racing drivers from all over the world.

Around 200 cars from racing and rallying spanning over 100 years of Motoring with Classes ranging from pre-war vintage modern day producing high octane competition with around 100 cars running each day.

Around the informal Paddock spectators were able to linger and look at the cars in more detail.
