Crystal Palace will play host to a national motorsport event over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Motosport at the Palace, sponsored by the Ancaster Group, will be a two-day sprint event on May 30-31.

It will allow visitors the chance to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the legendary machines which powered the likes of Jim Clark, John Surtees, Jackie Stewart and Stirling Moss to victory.

Martin Chinnery, chairman of organisers Sevenoaks DMC, said: “We are delighted that fans will once again be able to experience racing at the Palace.

“The range of cars competing, coupled with additional events and displays, will make this a fantastic event for everyone, whether you're a motorsport fan or just after a fun day out."

Competitors will each donate a minimum £10 in support of St. Christopher's Hospice and the Royal London Society for the Blind; exhibitors will also contribute, ensuring that Motorsport at the Palace provides a lasting benefit to the community.

Tickets are priced at £10 per day and advance tickets will be available at a discount, from the website motorsportatthepalace.co.uk
