Brands Hatch plays host to the Mini Festival as it returns to the circuit for its traditional summer weekend of racing, bringing with it plenty of action on and off the circuit this weekend.

It will see a range of track action dedicated to the ever popular small car, which will draw the crowds in from far and wide.

On-track action includes a range of classes dedicated to track-prepared editions of the classic Mini with some races for modern MINIs too. Highlight series include the Mini Miglias, Mini Se7ens and the Super Mighty and Mighty Minis. There will be races solely for pre-’66 cars too courtesy of the Sanwa Trophy and Mini Spares 50th Anniversary Trophy.

Modern cars will be showcased in the MINI CHALLENGE CLUBSPORT category, with a wide range of tuned cars appearing in the ‘Fastest Mini in the World’ race which returns to prove just how quickly a Mini can go!

Beyond the competitive element, there will be an extensive range of non-racing activities including car displays with representation from a range of clubs, trade stands, a free grid walk, demos and a parade.
