Sgt Pepper Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Can't do Epynt and can't wait till Castle Combe so I'm off to Crystal Palace to try my luck at a non-L7C event. Only 4 others in my class (road going specialist production cars 1977 to present...) provided the scrutineers don't question the aeroscreens. Strangely enough one of the other cars is another x/flow as well as a Lancia 037 Stradale, a Morgan Plus 8 and a Sylva Phoenix. Course is only 600m (so that'll be a point, squirt and a few turns ) although it does use bits of the old 1937-39 circuit. At least it's only 9 miles away from me so no having to get up at silly o'clock Edited by - luddite motorsport on 1 Jun 2010 13:18:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV Gary Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Just taken an excited call from my 10 year old Daughter who is on a Girl Guides weekend in London - been inside Buck House, been to Downing Street, be on the Londaon eye but best of all she is watching Caterhams race at Crystal Palace 😬 SV 1.6k SUPERSPORT 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3MCJez Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 How did you get on? I was looking at this event back in the winter and thought it would be a great day out. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it in the end. Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Pepper Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Gary, you've trained your daughter well to recognise Caterhams as there were only 2 of us there together with a rather nice 1959 Series 1A. Glad she had a good time. Shock, horror, sensation - I managed a 1st in Class (my first 😬) beating the Morgan by 2.73s [my time 39.52s]. The 'track' though short (700m) was interesting (uphill start, sharp left-hander, short straight with right-hand kink, hairpin, short straight, chicane, short straight, long right-hander) and not very grippy especially around North Tower Crescent, I certainly didn't expect my lowly powered 7 to wheelspin in 3rd . There's plenty of Armco (they installed 38 tonnes of it for the event) and no run-off!!! When I get a moment I'll upload some footage onto YouTube......

Drumster Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks guys. As promised the 'circuit' layout can be see here. Video of 3rd timed run Oh yes, forgot to mention the embarrassment; one of those new-fangled electric Teslas managed it in 38.78s 😳 Chris Alston C7CAT 1800 Supersprint R248 ....and then I jumped in Edited by - Aeroscreens on 1 Jun 2010 13:48:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
