All you need is a non race national B licence (£45 ish), membership to a club (not very expensive) and then a fireproof suit and helmet, gloves and boots (gloves and boots don't need to be fia approved). Then I believe you are good to go.

The thought has already crossed my mind. Looks like bloody good fun and doesn't appear to put too much stress on the car this Sprinting lark. I might aim for next year though. Take it you need to do ARDS to compete?

You don't need to do an ARDS test as it's a non race season and your the only one on the course at any one time. Just a non race national B licence(£40 ish) and club memberships (£15-£40 depending on club).

Sprinting is a lot of fun, I did it a few years back but watching the NW lads do it I wanted to give it another go. Not as expensive as actual track racing but still competitive.

If that's the case I'll be looking into it a bit more. Doesn't seem too costly and it would be great to get into Sprinting with the S.

S2KUK is an MSA affiliated club - does this count?
