GRRC Spring Sprint – the results
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.
