Mini Festival Brands Hatch

Brands Hatch hosted the Mini Festival last weekend (16^th & 17^th July) in a true celebration of a cult car. New and old – Mini’s and MINI’s were out on track being driving hard proving that Sir Alec’s original idea of a wheel in each corner was not a bad one…

Some well known Mini racers could be found in the Sanwa Trophy and SU Pre 66 Mini Euro Challenge, with the line up including Bill Sollis, Nick Swift and AC/DC legend Brian Johnson. Mini Clubs from around the UK descended on the Kent track with club displays, trade stands, live music all of which made for a great weekend.
