Seems nothing in comparison to 551 TVRs on circuit at Rockingham the same weekend though. Especially as our beloved Minis are common as muck

.

Rememeber seeing 110 M3 Coupes at Donnington one year,the TVR's used to turn out en masse for the GT series until the works team pulled out.

Hi, I'm new to all this

..... I was there and never heard an announcement so contacted them via email and was told today that 271 took part beating the WR by 2! Was a great day out, my first of many 'mini' days to come

How about Silverstone, home of British Motorsport!! There's a huge car park for everyone to meet, then lead on to the track. That'd be truly amazing!! What do you think?

On that note how many Minis were on track at Min@i40? also at Silverstone.
There were 15000 plus Minis there on the day and a whole load of them made it out onto the track.
