2023 Racers & Weekend Information

The race features a range of minis aiming to win their class or the race outright. The front running cars will typically be highly developed spaceframe minis - all jostling to become this year’s fastest mini in the world! But keep an eye out for other special minis fighting it out to win their class….

Entry guidelines and classification

This race is designed to feature any racing derivative of the classic Mini i.e. Saloon, Estate, Pick-up, Van, Hornet, Marcos, Jem, GTM, Midas etc. This has been made simple with four specific classes:

Class C - A-series engine >1300cc. No aerodynamic additions permitted.
Class D - A-series engine <1300cc. No aerodynamic additions permitted.

* Wheels and tyres are free for all four classes.
