Description Sprints are held three times a year at Castle Combe Circuit. The Great Western Sprint starts from the pitlane and follows the circuit clockwise for 1.75 laps to the marshals’ post at Westway. The Dick Mayo Sprint uses the same layout but is a lap shorter. The Pegasus Sprint is one flying lap from the start/finish line - the pitlane is used in reverse.
