MINI CHALLENGE

The MINI CHALLENGE is the Championship for the new MINI in the UK, enjoying great grids, colourful cars and close racing. Over the years the MINI CHALLENGE has built a reputation for affordability, fairness and fun, and benefits from being the only Championship to enjoy the support of MINI UK.

2020 marked a landmark year for the series, with the headline JCW Class enjoying a highly successful first season on the BTCC Package, cementing its status as the natural stepping stone for drivers aiming to race in the BTCC.

2021 will mark another step forward, as we expect the full marketing potential of the BTCC Package to be fulfilled following the restricted 2020 season.

The multi-class structure enables drivers with varying degrees of experience and budget to be part of the MINI CHALLENGE, whilst providing a natural route for progression.

The Cooper Class provides close, fair, entry-level racing, and will make three guest appearances on the TOCA Package in 2021.

Scrutineering controls mean that fairness is maintained so that drivers and teams can be sure that only skill and legitimate knowledge will have a bearing on race results.

Budgets are also kept under control through restrictions on testing, tyre use and widespread use of control parts in areas where any performance advantage could be gained.

The MINI CHALLENGE is ‘The Place to Race’.
