So, who would be interested if we can get them all to come and compete at our Oz50 Mini Festival on 6 March at Wakefield Park?

Watto.

My point exactly.

How good would it be to have Group N, Group C, Sports Sedans and MINI Challenge cars, in their own races. Covers the whole 50 years of Minis.

Cheers,
Watto.

Very interesting.
I wonder why they decided to pull their funding.

And I wonder even more who will decide to come in and fill the 'gap'.

:cry:

Factory supported one make racing series are just an advertising tool. They only ever last a year or two.

If the class was viable it would stand on its own without the factory support.

Does anyone remember the Renault Newstar series? Or the Laser series, The TR7 Prostar series, etc.

They come and go. In a couple of years there will be another manufacturer doing the same thing to try and sell cars.

I thought you guys owned the cars!? Perhaps not.

Maybe PM me or call me to discuss - don't want anyone having any legal trouble for things said in the heat of the moment.

Cheers,
Watto.
:shock:

I think they own the cars, but sponsors won't want to help pay for them if there are no races...

Yes, Yes and Yes. The laser series lasted a pretty good number of years though.

And here's a chance to put another renault photo on the mini forum:

Great photo! I am glad I gave you an excuse.

Is that Phillip Island? And do you know who the drivers are? I think I may know #67

87?
Yes, phillip island
The car in the lead (albeit temporarily) is a Collier sponsored and built car, so it is a fair bet it is Bruce Collier himself. No idea who the others are. Given the Daily Telegraph sponsorship, could it be David McKay?

Note the upside down windscreen banner on Bruce's car? Not sure if that is in reference to his rallying, or just so the TV gets it right in the most likely position these cars used to end up in :lol:
