Motorsports at the Palace 2012

[e21Mark]

I'm doing this event again this year (hopefully) and just wondered if anyone else here plans to? If so, is the course likely to remain the same?

I'll be in a more powerful car this year and have a bit more experience. Last year it was my first ever event. I had great fun though.

Anyway, this is my car for 2012 so feel free to say hello.

Yep, but I'll bring the Z4MC instead of the Saxo I think

[e21Mark]

Have you entered yet? Evidently its cheaper before April 1st?

[carl_w]

No not yet, but I am planning to do so before 1 April

I did it last year in an M3 CSL, great event and well worth entering.

Thinking about doing it again this year but not sure if funds will allow as well as racing next year, If not as a member of sevenoaks motor club I might even offer to help out.

Me & Ceri will be in the commentary box as usual.
Palace is always a highlight for me.

I'm really looking forward to it and fingers crossed we get good weather! I'm hoping to do both days this year to.

Mark a couple of weeks ago did you happen to park right in the middle of Richmond high street outside Boots/Hsbc?

[e21Mark]

I did. I had to collect a prescription.

I am doing it on the Sunday 27th in my black '71 mini. Come and say hi!

I posted my forms off yesterday and applied for both days. I'm not sure whether I'll get accepted for both though?

[e21Mark]

I didn't last year. Mind you, the weather was rubbish on the 2nd day.

You were right. Confirmation e-mails just arrived.

I've only just put the form in the envelope

[e21Mark]

I'm sure you'll be fine.

[eastlmark]

dont quote me on it but I think that event has never been over subscribed, always a last minute push for entries.

Weather was fine on the second day....until the final car passed the flag that is, then it pee'd down.
Hope it dont rain for you, its one event that I think may fall apart if heavey rain fell before or during. 1, the paddock is on a grassy hill and I had trouble getting traction from my spot in the dry (on slicks mind) and 2, that white footpath surface is as yet to be tried in the wet.

But this year it's not a bank holiday weekend, so less likely to rain

I'l be down there in my Seat leon..and no doubt i'l end up leaving my entry until the last minute!
It's the first time i've ever tried something like this so it should be a good bit of fun
