2024 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 A - No engine restrictions. Aerodynamic additions permitted.
Class B - any engine <1600cc. Aerodynamic additions permitted.
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.
** Turbo cars can be classified by engine capacity x 1.4. As an example 1380cc x 1.4 = 1932cc [Class A]
*** The minimum class for kit / fibreglass cars is 'Class C' i.e. Marcos, Jem, GTM etc.
**** Most importantly the Race is for driver and spectator enjoyment. The Race Committee will support and help with any classification to achieve this.
