Evo-active and MotorSportVision have teamed up with Dunlop to bring us a weekend of track-tastic action.

They say:
Dunlop in association with EvoActive presents the Great & British Motorsport Festival. Featuring some of the UK's best racing championships such as Ginetta, Minis and Radicals as well as guest races, the Dunlop Festivals aim to set a new standard in British motor sport.

Evo also makes mention of the chance of a Parade lap for MINI drivers as well

Cost is £10 per person online or £12 on the day. Kids under 12 go free

We're coming along to this, hoping to bring some fellow midland mini people from mini addiction as well

Hope to see you there then - are you meeting up some place? I'm probably going to do the M40, M25 route in the morning - would be good to hook up.

Hi guys,

Drop in to BMR garage (behind pits) and say hello. Then stand at the top of paddock hill and blow like f### when I come past . I need all the help I can get.

Sorry, just noticed your reply!

Not finalised any plans, I have a feeling the best route from Brum could be down the M6/M1 but not sure yet. If we decide on the M40 I'll definitely let you know

[NeilAndHisMini]

I've just booked - I'll be going on Sunday 30th April only.

Might be bringing along a group from the Mini Cooper Register but won't know for sure until next week.

Here's some more info...

Mini Festival comes to Brands Hatch on April 30th

Brands Hatch will host a Round of the Great and British Dunlop Motorsport Festivals on Sunday April 30th and with four Mini races on the bill this event will become a Festival of Mini celebration. There will be two races for the MINI Challenge for the new cars (previously known as the John Cooper MINI Challenge) and a race for both the Mini Miglias and Se7ens.

In the past there has been little promotion of Mini racing, but now that’s all about to change. Mini owners attending will receive special treatment on the day with display parking on the famous South Bank, parade lapping at lunch time, Dunlop freebies, competitions and plenty of off track entertainment to go alongside the dramatic track action, including a fun fair and a live band. All the Mini owners’ clubs and websites have received invites and the race meeting will also be extensively covered on Sky Sports in the weeks following the event.

Hopefully we can get a good few Mini 2 folk along to support keith and the other racers

So can you stick me and Janey on the list please
