Brands Hatch is to host a round of the Great and British Dunlop Motorsport Festivals on Sunday 30 April.

With four Mini races on the bill this event will become a Festival of Mini celebration. There will be two races for the Mini Challenge for the new cars (previously known as the John Cooper Mini Challenge) and a race for both the Mini Miglias and Se7ens.

There's been little promotion of Mini racing to date, but that’s about to change. Mini owners attending will receive special treatment on the day with display parking on the famous South Bank, parade lapping at lunch time, Dunlop freebies, competitions and plenty of off track entertainment to go alongside the dramatic track action, including a fun fair and a live band. All the Mini owners’ clubs and websites have received invites and the race meeting will also be extensively covered on Sky Sports in the weeks following the event.

For Mini owners interested in track driving should note that there is a trackday with a  session for Minis only on Friday 28th on the Indy circuit. For more details of this and booking details please call 01508 536271

The Great and British Dunlop Motorsport Festivals are backed by a major marketing programme to broaden the appeal of national motorsport and introduce new spectators to the sport.

Four of the UK’s biggest racing championships will compete at each event; the Mini Challenge, the Avo Ginetta Championship, the Radical Biduro championship and the Radical Enduro championship, all of which is backed up by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC).There will be comprehensive satellite TV coverage of each round, pre-event publicity nationally and locally, plus plenty off-track activities for the whole family become involved in. These include motorshows, car club displays and general public lapping sessions.
