Dunlop Touring Car Test Drive

Thanks to the generosity of long-time sponsor, Dunlop, the Mini 7 Racing club have been gifted an amazing end of year prize, and the opportunity for the winning driver to spend a day with Motorbase, testing a BTCC touring car. To be eligible for this award, the winning member will need to have finished in the top 7 of either the Miglia or the Seven championship, or be the winner of the Mini Seven S Class.

The test is likely to be at Snetterton in October or November. For the club, in its 50th season of racing, this is fantastic news and the most valuable and exciting end of year prize we have offered in the last decade. We are truly blown away by the support from Dunlop and we are sure that its going to be a huge boost to grid numbers, in fact, some are even saying that there could be over 50 car’s at every meeting!
