Crystal Palace sprint: PHTV

Sun-drenched sprint at Crystal Palace, submitted by PHer andylaurence

Razzing a racing car around your local recreation ground probably wouldn't endear you to the parkie but Crystal Palace in London has a rich history of motorsport, recently revived with a sprint event using sections of the old circuit. Here's an onboard from PHer andylaurence offering a view of the park you may not have seen before.

We got in touch with Andy to ask more about the run. "The car is a heavily modified ADR Sport 2," he tells us. "I've competed in the ADR at Crystal Palace in 2011, 2013 and 2014. This was my last run in 2013 where I set the class record, taking it from Roger Green in the factory Radical SR8. The time is the fastest recorded for any closed wheel vehicle, only beaten by two single seaters. I'll be back again there next month in a new car, which should be rather faster."

That steering wheel is tiny!

Great event - we're both in (a much slower class) - now we just have to get the car ready!

The wheel's not that small, it's just far away...
