Kleers Concours ‘Show and Shine’ Competition
New for this year’s Motorsport at the Palace is the Kleers Car Care ‘Show and Shine’ competition. Members of the Kleers team will be judging the many beautiful cars in the static show area on the old start/finish straight. As any classic (or modern for that matter) car owner will know, it’s not easy keeping your pride and joy in tip-top condition, especially in a climate that encourages rust and corrosion. Kleers provides a range of high quality premium car care products, to maintain and protect your vehicle to a showroom finish every time.
Competition entry forms can be submitted either in advance or on the day (although numbers are restricted so the earlier the better). Simply choose a relevant class for your car and return the form direct to Kleers Car Care.
The competition will take place over both days of the show, with final judging and the prize giving ceremony taking place on Sunday.
For competition details and entry forms,
New Invitation Class Sevenoaks & District Motor Club, organisers of Motorsport at Crystal Palace, have announced that an additional ‘Invitation Class’ has been added to this year’s Crystal Palace Sprint programme.
The new class is open to vehicles which do not comply with other class regulations; entries in this class will run as part of the event, with equal billing as regards Practice and Timed Runs. However, Invitation class cars will not be eligible for fastest time of the day.
Now in its third year, Motorsport at the Palace, in association with the Ancaster Group, has proven a popular event with drivers and spectators alike. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with a range of family-themed attractions away from the exciting on-track action.
Diggerland and the London Karting Company are both new for 2012, the former offering a rare opportunity to take control of some heavy-duty construction equipment, while the latter gives youngsters the chance to race in special child-friendly electric karts.
The Classic Racing Motorcycle Club will be firing up some beautiful GP and race bikes, while visitors will again be able to stroll around the open paddock and admire a host wonderful machinery in the show area.
Prices have been held at last year’s levels, with a single adult ticket costing just £10 per day or £8 in advance; children under 16 enter free (providing they are accompanied by an adult).

In my youth I never missed a motor race meeting at the Palace I was (am) an avid supporter of the marvellous Spring Bank Holiday events.

Chair Crystal Palace Community Association - I found the whole experience most enjoyable. Set amongst lovely parkland and the spectators are always the cherry on top. I do appreciate performing in front of a crowd. I’ll be back for 2011, for sure.
