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.

However, it is not just the racers who get a chance to sample the twists and turns of the famous Brands Hatch circuit. 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.
