2014 NSW Supersprint Round 4, Sunday 29th July, at the Sydney Motor Sport Park Brabham Circuit.
A great result for the MX-5 Club with our 25 members scoring 513 points, beating the ARDC with 361 points. The MX-5 Club now leads the championship with 1,739 points, leading the ARDC by 156 points.
Conditions were good for the day, with some minor drops of rain during one run, but otherwise dry conditions. Drivers had four runs available.

The next supersprint round is on Sunday 10th August at the SMSP GP Circuit. Although we have a lead in the club championship with 3 rounds to go, we will need to work hard to stay ahead. Entries are still open for this round, so I encourage any club members who are supersprint championship registrants but have not entered for round 5 yet, please consider doing so.
As always, supporters are very welcome. Entry to the circuit is free for spectators, so come along on 10th August and say hello to TeamMX5.
