Sprints and Hillclimbs are two similar branches of motor sport that both take place on a smooth sealed surface over a measured distance against the clock. Cars start separately, although there may be up to three cars on the course at any one time. Sprints are open to virtually any car from a perfectly standard road going car to single seater racing cars, divided into classes by types and engine capacity. TWMC sprints are held at race circuits, but some clubs hold events on airfields or private estate driveways (Hillclimbs). For sprints two or three runs are made to go around the circuit for one or two laps.
A Hillclimb differs to a sprint in that the course is not a circuit and the start and finish are at different places.
