The third edition of SpeedSprint was held at Jaipur on June 02, 2013. The event saw running of more than 300 races in a single day!
Run as a single stage all tarmac rally SpeedSprint is unique in that it allows opportunity for fully rally specs cars to participate in a special category while also catering to more popular category for normal road going cars and bikes.
More correctly classified at Zip, Zap Zoom categories the event is a single day event that is organized by Incarnation Sports in collaboration with local motor sports enthusiasts.
An all tarmac 4.5 kms track with total of 33 elements for ninety lefts or rights, drifts, handbrake turns was laid out. This was further supplemented by chicanes, slaloms and full stop elements to contain speeds only for Zip category.

There was a huge crowd of spectators that was watching and cheering as online timing was shared. The final overall difference between the first and second place was a mere 0.28 seconds.
Post lunch in the afternoon Zap – rally prepared – cars and Zoom motorcycles ran their races. Despite the heat crowds and drivers were as enthusiastic.
