It’s a celebration of motoring so a must for any petrol head – be it a classic car nut, a supercar savant, former racing driver or someone who just loves cars! As well as club and private owner static displays, you get to see these amazing cars how they should be seen – in action!
The line-up of motorsport is second to none with a diverse range of cars spanning one hundered years of motoring, right up to the present day. Spectators get an up-close view of these amazing cars in action – not something you see everyday! Classes range from pre-war vintage to modern day so expect high octane competition, with around 75 cars running each day.

Following the first timed run each afternoon, there will be a parade of motorcycles on track. During the competition runs there will also be demonstrations of vehicles not taking part in the competition.
17.15pm: AWARDS CEREMONY (APPROXIMATE)
Please note due to the nature of motor sport, unavoidable delays may occur, therefore these timings are for guidance only.
Motorsport at the Palace will pay tribute to another famous use of Crystal Palace as in 1969, the venue was used to film scenes in the iconic motoring movie The Italian Job. The circuit’s inner field was used to film the van being blown up so the film’s star Michael Caine could say that immortal line; “You’re only suppose to blow the bloody doors off.”
The actual circuit was used by stunt drivers to practice the jumping sequence with the Mini Cooper cars as well as being used for part of the car chase itself. In honour of the UK’s favourite motoring movie, the three actual Mini Coopers, in red, white and blue, from the film will be at Motorsport at the Palace. They will be on static display so fans can have pictures with these three famous cars as well as taking to the circuit for a parade lap at lunchtime each day.
Around 35-45 clubs will display their cars alongside the trader village. Private owners can also book pole position parking in the classics area, meeting like-minded owners to showcase a multitude of marques.
Expect live music from Elle & the Pocket Belles and jaw dropping stunt action from the Savage Skills mountain bike display team and a family fun fair on site!
