As per title, I am thinking of hooking up with MSV to organise a Mini only TMF Trackday and would like to see how many people would be interested.

I would personally suggest a central location, maybe Bedford Aerodrome and would propose it be broken into sessions

For example:
Intro/briefing
Experienced drivers/faster cars
Z Cars (maybe tag a race in their season into the day)?
General and novices
Free for all session

If I could get something sorted, who would be interested?

I'm thinking of it maybe becoming an annual event. Ideally on a Saturday before a Mini show somewhere nearby.

Once I've passed my drivers test, then yes I'd do it.

However, I vote for Brands Hatch.

Sounds good, but can I suggest Rockingham. We race the oval every year but the infield is awesome. Rental is very reasonable. We have stopped racing Bedford as it is just too hard on the cars due to the poor surface, it would kill in a mini.

I'm open to all suggestions for tracks that are fairly central, but Brands is just too far down South.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, and the annual event idea is brilliant.

I have only ever been to one circuit, and hat's castle coombe. I don't know about any other tracks, but castle coombe (I'm not suggesting this to be the venue, as there is already a big mini show held there.) offers Merlin motorsport... so could consider some traders track side?

Just need to get the minis done first!

Snetterton would be good, only about 20 minutes for me!


Would be up for it, I'd be worried about the chance of being crashed >_<
