As afternoon turns to evening, we find ourselves at the end of a successful GRRC Spring Sprint, with cars and drivers cooling off from a spirited day’s track action.

The idea of the Sprint, of course, is for car and driver, following earlier practice sessions, to take to the track and dive straight into timed sessions, at a rate of no more than a lap at a time. No time for building up a rhythm then. You’ve got to go in at your best. So without further delay, here are the results.
