I'm booked in for this with Javlin they run there own sprint series which is a bit more relaxed than the msa sprints, basically you can turn up in your road going car and take part, would be good to see a few TVRs there to show the modern stuff how to do it, or not in my case.

Hey Trev, What is the format of a sprint ?? Is it a marked out track with a timer . ? Not that I can make that date ,but for future interest . wink
Hi Colin hope all's well with you.
The format for the day is two sighting laps, one untimed practice then six to eight timed laps the day flows quite well as long as people don't get to carried away on track, plenty of time for chatting.
The lap starts from the pit lane and finishes just after the last corner before the start/finish straight so you can return to the pits.
You obviously don't get the same amount of track time as a track day but the timed laps do add a bit more interest.

Peter I will report back on my efforts I need to do well as I have lost all my hard earned brownie points, apparently the 26th is mothering Sunday.

Well I had a bit of a mare at the weekend run two was my best but it went rapidly down hill from there, think it's time for a track day next.
