Although often associated with Vauxhall, Gerry Marshall won two 1978 Production Saloon Championships in the Triumph Dolomite Sprint modelled here. He debuted the car on March 5th 1978 at Brands Hatch & raced it twenty-eight times during the season; winning three races outright & scoring an amazing twenty-five class victories. The Marshall/ Sprint combination was so dominant in 1978 that during a race at Donington he came into the pits only to tell his worried crew that he had “…stopped to let the rest catch up a bit”, before storming out of the pits to score another win.
