| Steve Beesley Sprinting in the All Circuit
Sprint Championship at the Goodwood circuit near Chichester. |
Sprints & Hillclimbs
These are two similar branches of motor
sport that both 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 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. TWMC 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.
A Hillclimb differs to a sprint in that
the course is not a circuit and the start and finish are at different
places. TWMC has it's own sprint championship called the 'All
Circuit Sprint Championship'. It usually consists of about 11
events run at the Lydden circuit near Dover, the Goodwood circuit
near Chichester, Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
