Competing together in rally racing events across North America, brothers Frank and Dan Sprongl became the dominant drivers of the 1990s in their Audi Quattro. The duo won six Canadian Rally Championship (CRC) overall titles between 1991 and 1999, while claiming four North American Rally Cup championships between 1994 and 1999. They added two CRC two-wheel drive championships in the mid-2000s, recording 36 overall rally victories during their time in the series.

The Sprongl’s competed in and won rallies in six Canadian provinces, from Newfoundland to Alberta, while also taking their talents south of the border. They won 14 SCCA national rallies in the U.S., with major victories in six states, including four overall wins in the prestigious Mount Washington Hillclimb in New Hampshire.

Frank and Dan competed in a variety of racing events during 23 years as drivers, with ice racing, hill climb, slalom (solo) and stage rally on their resumes. Outside the car, their popularity as rally stars on European TV allowed them to import and distribute competition parts from manufacturers, helping improve the quality, speed and safety of Canadian rally cars. They also enticed Suzuki to build ten identical entry-level rally vehicles for a one-make championship in 2003.

The Sprongl’s remain active in the shop, running Four Star Motorsports, alongside their parents, where they prepare rally, race and movie cars. The team’s success with other drivers includes Peter Thomson winning the 2005 CRC title, André Leblanc winning the 2021 CRC title and Mark Rittenhouse taking the overall victory in the 2016 Targa Newfoundland.
