It was an amazing event. The people who went came back with great stories, and were all very pleased.

It went so well that there are plans for more in the future....probably not on holidays this time


Official results posted here

there are hundreds of pics here thanks to a few great photographers:
Pics can be found here

Is the third picture what it appears to be? A cloud of dust and a MINI headed in the wrong direction

Nice shots

it was a great day..

a lot of fun and learning. I would highly recommend a track day for everyone - with or without mods... learn to really drive your MINI.

Pardon my dust. Went a little overboard with the trailbraking and spun it.

I heard you were tearing it up with the EVO, what mods have you got? Or is it all driving skills?

omg, just looked at the pic, thats a sweet looking mini. 2 questions. What kind of rims are those? Got a close up pic? Also, what have you got protecting your headlights, that stuff looks bloody shweeeeet.
