You Sprinting then?

see there is a Lancia 037 on the entry but I bet not as quick as Tony Harts Renault 5!

I am, yes.

Is Tony's Renault a bit quick then? I recall seeing the 037 at Crystal Palace I think?

6th overall best time at Lydden in June.

Bound to suit the Indy circuit too.

I'm in an e30 with almost twice the power of my old one. Added to that it's LHD and I've never taken it on track before! I just hope it stays dry.

If anyone is thinking of going along to spectate there is an excellent mix of cars entered in tomorrows sprint.

There are the usual caterfield type cars, Radicals, BMW M3 & 320is, Renault Clio Cup & 5 GTT, Porsche 996 & GT3 RS, Triumph TR8, Mazda RX7, selection of different TVR's and some Dallara, Pilbeam and Van Diemen single seaters.

Practice runs kick-off at 9am with timed runs straight after.

Anyone interested in competing, there is a final event of the year at Lydden Hill on Saturday 20th October.

Great fun this morning and some lovely cars on track. The 037 Lancia was gorgeous, as was the 911 GT3. The orange Westfield, with what sounded like a tubo'd bike engine, was insanely quick off the line and bloody loud. The pair of 60's TVR's were sublime. I know sprint events aren't everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed it. I managed a 2nd in class too.

If anyone has any photos or video footage please let me know.

It was bloody slippy on the practice run. Had a few moments myself.
