MINI Challenge Snetterton Apr 28-29

[Buffster Bird]

Will anybody be going to Snetterton to watch the MINI Challenge over this weekend? I hope to go there as it's my nearest racing circuit. I don't know if Dunlop are giving any things away as it's part of their Great and British Motor Festival.

I'll be there. I doubt Dunlop will be giving anything away as it is not one of the "Mini festivals" they do.

I'll be there working away in the Paddock.

\kent and East Sussex will have a few cars there.
I will have to see I can be very nice to the boss (She is 7months pregnant) and get a pass out its a 400mile round trip for me though.

I went

Had a fantastic day out! Great weather too, i even managed to get sunburn!

Was good to see so many new R56 Cooper S's there too, 6 in total.

Big well done to Oli Mortimer who won all 3 'S' class races, but well done to every one of them really, there were a lot of new drivers this year

The last MINI Challenge race was funny, they seemed to really go for it! The cars were literally launching into the air (particularly James Blyths Silver S)

Some piccies....

I was there too!!!!

I did a lot of work with the Forster Motorsport guys over the weekend, and it is amazing that Peter Budd was actually driving on Sunday as he had an engine change on Saturday and then it blew in the race on saturday evening, so the team drove back to Newcastle to get a new engine - took it out of a Mini there - drove all the way back to Snetterton - got there at 6am Sunday and put it in his car for the first race at 11.30am!!!!!

And I was putting graphics on as they did the work!!!!

But a great weekend was had by most I think - especially Oli and his team.

[KostaLot]

Think it will be a weekend the Forster boys will want to forget....

[CrazyPhil]

yep. But the're a great bunch and the workload they put in was emense!

Good sound system in the garage too. They showed me great hospitallity
