As this was my first time on this particular course I decided to take some photos as I walked the course.
See below for a step-by-step guide to the circuit. For the sprint the circuit used part of the 1937-39 circuit. Planning
for the event started in 2006 and in order to gain safety approval some 38 tonnes of Armco were put in place and £13,000 worth
of tarmac was relaid. More information about motor racing at Crystal Palace can be found by clicking on the logo at the top of the page.

P1 - 41.98s - 1st run, cloudy, warm and dry
P2 - 40.39s - Better, but too aggressive...
T1 - 39.55s - Just 0.03s slower than previous best
T2 - 38.69s - Sunny and warmer, a new PB by 0.83s
T3 - 39.55s - Final run, trying a bit too hard, but at least my best run was enough to secure '1st in Class' albeit by just .025s

P2 - 41.35s - Greatly improved run, although still learning the course
T1 - 39.72s - Another vastly improved run. Cloudy and dry
T2 - 40.06s - Different line at the hairpin didn't work
T3 - 39.52s - Now hot and sunny. My best time of the day was good enough to achieve my first 1st in class (out of 4)
