WHICH SERIES CAN BMW MINIS RACE IN?

[PR1]

Does anyone know of any series or one off races for a Supercharged Cooper S in 'Mini Challenge' spec?
I'm aware of the following already:
www.minichallenge.co.uk
750MC Birkett relay
BRDC Eight Clubs
Britcar (inc. Willhire 24hrs)


[Our Mini can't do 750MC Hot Hatch champ 'cos doesn't allow forced induction]

Any Web addresses for the series you know of would also be good...

You can race at Easter at Snetterton with the Classic Sports Car Club in their Sports v Saloon Car Challenge races, one on Sunday afternoon and second race Monday. If you get in touch with Tony Rushforth who runs the CSCC Tin Tops Series you might find the car is eligible for the Tin Tops races as well, which are on Sunday. These are 20 mins practice, 40 minute race with pit stop and possibility of one or two drivers (so you can share race costs).

website : www.classicsportscarclub.co.uk

Tony Rushforth's email and telephone number are on there on the contacts page; you can download regulations and entry forms for the races, and you can see other Tin Tops cars & driver details on the "About Us" page links.
Friendly Club, lots of other races for Porsches, Jags etc as well.

given you are oxford based the BARC southern sports/saloons, and BARC south east sports/saloons, the SEMSEC sports/saloons ot teh CAstle Combe GT championship would be the easiest but there is also the welsh sports/saloons too. all details at www.barc.net

There's also other regional sports/saloon series such as the "K&N Filters" in the North West and a Northern one based out of Croft (Darlington Motor Club?).

Is it a current spec car?

You could certainly use it in some 'clubby' races for ones off, I know that you can race them up at Anglesey, and probably Lydden and places like that.

There is the Scottish Auto Trader Mini Cooper Cup.

Regs can be found here

As said up top, I'm sure the Castle Combe GT's would welcome you with open arms, and you'd get to compete at the best circuit in the world (my unbiased oppinion!!)
If it is standard you should even get into the Castle Combe Saloon Car Championship, the best series ever!
