CLASSIC MINI RACING CHAMPIONSHIP

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled trip down memory lane, because for the 2026 season, the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC) is introducing the Classic Mini Racing Championship, a celebration of one of the most beloved and iconic cars in motorsport history.

This Championship is built by and for true Mini racing enthusiasts. Focusing on post-1976 Minis that defined an era, these aren’t stripped-down modern machines; they’re pure, old-school racers, powered by the legendary A+ engine block and a classic 4-speed gearbox. The regulations are crafted to ensure a level playing field, so it’s driver skill, not deep pockets, that will determine who crosses the finish line first.

For decades, Mini racing has been a cornerstone of UK circuit racing, delivering a unique brand of close-quarters combat that few other series can match. If you’ve ever had the thrill of driving or watching these tiny titans on track, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Forget high-tech aerodynamics and complex electronics; this is raw, unadulterated racing at its finest.

The sight of a pack of these humble-looking Minis wagging their tails mid corner is a truly spectacular experience. Each race promises to be a heart-stopping display of daring overtakes, masterful car control, and the kind of fierce, door-to-door competition that only these classic Minis can deliver.

The Classic Mini Racing Championship is a continuation of a legacy, a testament to the enduring appeal of these pocket rockets. Prepare for a season of unforgettable moments, epic battles, and unique racing excitement.
