District Car Club Ltd. Sprinting is a race against the clock held mostly on race circuits and specialised sprint tracks such as Curborough. Cars start singly and are timed by electronic equipment accurate to 100th of a second.
Cars compete in classes relative to their design, engine capacity and any modifications.
Classes start with standard saloon cars and go through to Formula 1 type racing cars. This allows you to compete against cars of equal standing, so everyone has a chance of winning their class, with a special trophy for the overall fastest time of the day. Mandatory safety measures include the need for a Crash Helmet and Fire Resistant Overalls, both to minimum requirements. The next stage is to get your car prepared to the minimum standards in order to pass scrutineering. A scrutineer will check your car over at the beginning of every meeting to ensure that it complies with the necessary safety regulations.
