What happens on the day
The original Mini was the first real ‘pocket rocket’. Today’s versions are even more exciting. Small, agile and with amazing grip, these Minis will do almost anything a driver wants. Something participants will learn under guidance of experienced instructors. The safest racing lines and best driving techniques are explained before a series of demo laps with an instructor. Then drivers take a Mini Cooper onto the track themselves for some serious fun. Followed by the chance to drive the other star of ‘The Italian Job’ – the classic British sports car, the E-Type Jaguar. As a final homage to the film, drive a Mini Cooper through a demanding obstacle course. Also in the event, you drive a 52 seater bus with all your spectators as passengers.
