A bit of a sad post-script, but there looks like there'll be no more racing of any sort at Crystal Palace.
Up to a year or two ago there were still hillclimbs using part of the old circuit (I went to one organised by Sevenoaks&District Motor Club). Bromley council have recently relaid all the tarmac, but decided to use a very light (almost cream apparently) coloured mixture. Hence any motor sport would leave a lot of obvious tyre marks. Despite assurances made by interested parties to clean it after use, the council is refusing to allow any such activities. A sad end for one of the few motorsport venues in SE England
