MazdaOnTrack are still running them. They have one at Blyton on Sept 19th
I would love this but a 400 mile round trip!I did Curborough yesterday, 300 mile round trip, that was bad enough!
That works but it doesn't mean I wan't to do it!
For me there is Goodwood and Brands on the doorstep, most others are oop Narf and you know us southern softies don't like going North of the river

The 2017 sprint series has been announced after a successful first season running without the Toyotas and they have improved the class structor and added 2 more rds so 8 in total with just 6 counting for the overall honours.

I be there after doing all bar 1 rd in my exocet last year which I managed to win my class overall and finish 10th overall and was the highest position driver to have missed a rd. Winter rebuild happening atm which should improve times by atleast 2s per lap if not more at each track and going for the title overall too.
Be good too see some more PH members at the events.

These are really great days.
I did Woodbridge in 2014 (I think) and it was great!
The most fun can be had when there are similar cars competing together; there have been a lot of gt86's and it's fantastic sport between the standard cars , usually separated by a few tenths.
I'll try and make a few of the southern ones in my Renault Megane

I intend to get myself along to the Croft one in June, Never been to one before and probably the closest I'll get to anything competitive.
I know this is going to be a grey question with umpteen variables, But does anyone know roughly how the timing of the sprints compare to full lap times with a running start over the start/finish line at Croft? As I have driven it a couple of times now, Just I was skimming over last years results.

Now there's a competitive question if I ever heard one LOLI know this is going to be a grey question with umpteen variables, But does anyone know roughly how the timing of the sprints compare to full lap times with a running start over the start/finish line at Croft?

The start and finish lines are both on the main straight, with probably about 100 yards between the two. I'd imagine the times would be pretty similar to a full flying lap, but I've not done a full TD at Croft so i don't have anything empirical to base that off!I know this is going to be a grey question with umpteen variables, But does anyone know roughly how the timing of the sprints compare to full lap times with a running start over the start/finish line at Croft?

Here's my vid from Croft last year if it helps give you an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biIsKwXb1zk

Depends on cars/drivers etc but I did a 1.36 flat in my turbo charged mev exocet running 190bhp then a mate who runs a race exocet with similar power but little bit more weight on a flying lap did a 1.35 flat so not far away. Both on dry warm days 2 weeks apart infact.I know this is going to be a grey question with umpteen variables, But does anyone know roughly how the timing of the sprints compare to full lap times with a running start over the start/finish line at Croft?

Ive got better brakes/more power and better handling this year so aiming to get 1.32 this year.
