Asking the collective crowd on here as you're way more knowing than I!
Having just bought a Mighty Mini, does anyone know of other series they can enter? Really looking for seat time in a race environment more than anything...based North West so am considering CNC Heads Saloons (although the sheer speed of some of them puts me off)

Mighty Minis is a great place to race it...Level playing field and really well run...I started in this championship and loved every minute of it...Ace

Thanks Andy, yes seems so real shame they've dropped Oulton Park though and Anglesey for that matter.
Just pondering what else I can run in to get some seat time and experience etc

I bought one a few years ago, just cause it was just cheap fun, we used it for Blyton and I did one Hillclimb with it, but it stuggled up the Hills compared to other Minis ive used with a lack of power, with its standard cooper engine, 3 seconds per 30 seconds slower, but great fun and probably one of the best handling Minis Ive had and I have very fond memories of owning it !

If it helps i think some are coverting them so they can take part in CSCC championship 10inch wheels etc...Gary Patterson and Pat Ford have converted cars under there new rules...I still think they are better raced against other Mighty Minis so you dont feel underpowered as they are in theory the same so the racing is close and really good...

The only thing I am committed to doing this year so far is the 24 hour race at Snetterton at the end of August.
Your car would be eligible with what is largely a standard 1 litre lump installed .
I found I an absolute gas and value for money v track time it is unbeatable . You don't need to be a hotshot and the friendliness reminds me of what Mighty Minis used to be like. Sadly its now on the verge of extinction
Just a thought . Its not well publicised and C1 endurance racing beats it further for value as you can build one for not much more the 3 grand , but for the select few....
