I've just started Sprinting and came across a reference to Sprint School on the net the other day. Unfortunately I forgot to bookmark it and can't find it now.
Anyone got any ideas?
TIA.

Curborough used to run one, and an "Introduction to Sprinting day". Try the Curborough or Shenstone and District Car Club websites.

Slightly different but there's several hill climb schools around too and they seem to be well regarded.

The Harewood hillclimb school is very good - one of the few where you can have an instructor in the car with you.

Out of interest, how does a Sprint/Hill Climb school differ from say, a Car Limits Day at Northweald or a Track day lesson?

I presume they put a lot of emphasis on a getting a good start since you can make or loose a good second just from a good or bad start! It surprising how many people either poodle off the line or sit there in a cloud of tyre smoke!

They explain what happens during a sprint, and give you tips on driving the sprint circuit where the school is based.
