Big Day out for Mini Owners

Brands Hatch to play host to hordes in April

---

Mini fans from all over the UK are expected to converge on Brands Hatch for the first themed event in the Dunlop "Great and British Festivals" calendar on Sunday April 30^th.

There will be a strong Mini flavour to the track action with the latest Cooper and supercharged Cooper S doing battle in two races of the Mini Challenge. The modern Minis will be complemented by their classic cousins, the iconic Mini Miglia and Mini Seven, with two further races for the crowd pleasing original ‘Great and British’ small car.

At lunchtime there will be a special track parade of Minis old and new, giving members of the public the chance to drive the Kent circuit in front of crowds of race fans.

Mini owners and other non-mini trackday drivers also have the chance to get on the circuit with an EvoActive track day on the preceding Friday (28t^h April) and have a full day of driving action and tuition from Dunlop Great and British race drivers.

A demonstration on how to remove the useless articles and fit proper tyres I hope!
