Hi,

I am getting started in my first year of sprinting and had really hoped to get on the larger tracks for a few sprints, however the dates for these seem few and far between. Am I just missing where they are advertised?

Silverstone has one event a year
Goodwood has two events a year

That's it. What about Brands Hatch?

Cheers
R

Thanks all

I guess that's the reality. Safety and upkeep probably result in many circuits being too expensive. I am a little surprised about Brands not being on a little more often, given that Silverstone is on there once.

Not one of the current BIG tracks, but an enjoyable event in the south east that you may like to consider Ross, is the annual Crystal Palace sprint. Now a two day event, a good atmosphere and very popular so enter early.

It was once considered a BIG track.
This is the 1971 British Saloon Car Championship.
Hold on to your seat !

Thanks very much, a bit disappointed I didn't organise myself in time to do this...looks great.

Thank you
