Sprint car at a wet Lydden circuit

Get Involved - Going Sprinting

Sprints take place on a smooth sealed surface over a measured distance against the clock. Cars start separately, although there may be up to three cars (at the Lydden Circuit) on the course at any one time. They are open to virtually any car from a perfectly standard road going car to single seater racing cars, divided into classes by types and engine capacity.

SEMSEC/TWMC/RMC sprints are held at race circuits, but some clubs hold events on airfields or private estate driveways (Hillclimbs). For sprints two or three attemps are made to go around the circuit for one or two laps.

TWMC has it’s own sprint championship called the All Circuit Sprint Championship. It consists of between 10 and 12 events run at the Lydden, Goodwood circuit near Chichester, Brands Hatch circuits and also the Pestalozzi Hillclimb near Hastings.
