The Wakefield Park website has a calendar that lists the events, clubs and contact details for the first few months of 2016. Either you can grab the data out of that or I will at some point.

I'm a week or 2 away from being ready to get back on the track after a couple of years away.

February 20, 2016 – In a first for the ARDC and SMSP, we will introduce the ARDC TWILIGHT SUPERSPRINT SERIES in 2016.

These events will be held on the Gardner Circuit (GP) and will go from 5.30pm until 8.30pm on a Saturday night:
– JANUARY 30TH
– FEBRUARY 20TH
– APRIL 2ND
– OCTOBER 22ND
– DECEMBER 10TH

ARDC Competitor Members are given preferential treatment regarding entry to the event – they are given two weeks to enter before it is opened up to other CAMS sporting car club Members.
The overall numbers able to enter these events will not be nearly the same as a full day event, so it is not quite so overwhelming.

These rounds, along with the three CAMS SUPERSPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP rounds held by the ARDC, also make up the club’s annual Supersprint Championship.

Competitors please note: All information on this event as it comes to hand will be available on the COMPETITORS PAGE. Registered competitors will also receive all updated information for ARDC Events via email.

WHAT IS A SUPERSPRINT?

A supersprint is a speed event where cars are sent out onto the circuit in pairs to set their fastest single lap. The pairings are sent out at 10 second intervals, with the fastest pair at the front to minimise overtaking. It is not a race – in fact, anyone found to be “racing” is sent straight to the stewards.

Cars are divided into seven “types”.
– Type 1 is for standard registered road cars.
– Type 2 is for modified registered road cars.
– Type 3 is for touring cars and production sports cars which can be modified as per the Improved Production regulations.
– Type 4 is for sports sedans.
– Type 5 is for open wheelers, sports/racing cars and clubman sports cars.
– Type 6 is for time attack cars.
– Type SV (Special Vehicles) is for road registered kit cars, modified road registered cars and other cars running on slicks.
All types have classes within them loosely based on engine size.

The whole field (usually about 100 cars) is split into colour groups based on potential performance. This ensures that fast cars share the track with other fast cars, and slower with the same.

A run is eight minutes on the track, and each competitor will get about five or six runs.

At the end of the day, each competitor’s fastest individual lap is compared with every other driver to get an outright result and with every other driver in the class to get a class result.
