If you want to see a fast version of the pre-war version of Crystal Palace, check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXOyg6GvlMt7qs0 Next week we do a bicycle tour on the Monza Florio track!

What a beautiful place, this garden is ordered. Too bad we can not run anymore! Interesting, slightly undulating trail. Bravo Herman.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Grazie. Next week I'll show them the video you recorded from the Florio connection at Monza.

@@Circuitsofthepast : How beautiful! I am impatient and curious, I look forward to next week!

Stunning! Just has a lot of fun today driving this track on R Factor 2 in a Radical 😜

[@Circuitsofthepast]

I think you can find a lot of bygone race tracks on my channel you drove in a video game 😀

[@user-bh4rx8mf8g]

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for walking the track and for posting the video.

[@Circuitsofthepast]

You're welcome!

Great video! What a shame the track is now populated by speed humps and euro diesel econoboxes 😟

We lived at Streatham and on race days, could hear the cars. Crystal Palace track was a terrible dangerous circuit. The railway sleepers and trees were unforgiving! Please spare a thought for all the drivers and riders whom tragically lost their lives racing there. RIP.

I listened to the V8 cars from my bedroom window in Brixton Hill and got interested in m/racing. Started going there for race meets ,saloon cars,F2 cars and saw Graham Hill in his orange jagermeifter sponsored car.

Thanks for sharing this memory.

[@MrDavidfball]

was a lovely track (gone before my time but seen many videos) amazing fact is so scenes for the original Italian job movie were filmed there (the iconic you were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off being one)

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thanks for this interesting information. I will see if I can download the Italian Job somewhere and check it out. Great you enjoyed this video!

[@MrDavidfball]

@@Circuitsofthepast thank you for the reply i found it out as for years i thought it had been monzas pit straight (as a child) then after research found out it was Crystal Palace infact the area they stand on is raised area to the left of the start finish straight (now under grass)

Those rectangular holes in ground the by the North Tower Crescent are for the Armco they put in for the Motorosport at the Palace point to point races..

[@Circuitsofthepast]

Thank you for the information! 👍

You'd visit also Battersea Park ;)

[@cgzh990]

Might have made a more exciting Formula E track instead of Battersea Park.

[@diethersantos6404]

Formula E should revive this place now
