COOPER S CLASS
The Cooper S class is the previous MINI CHALLENGE top runner and is still great to drive. Each Cooper S is the same specification so racing is tight and exciting.
- 220 BHP 1.6 Turbo Engine
- 2 Way Adjustable KW Dampers
- Adjustable toe, ride height and camber
- Powerful Alcon brakes with racing discs and bells
- Torque Biasing Limited Slip Differential
- Aero kit

The above combine to deliver very high performance with sufficient set up flexibility to allow handling to be tailored to driver preferences. Budgets are kept down through limits on use of tyres and control parts.
OPEN CLASS
The Open class was introduced in 2016 and has proved popular. It’s aimed at MINI race cars that don’t fall into the previous classs. This results in a range of R53s and R56s racing against each other. The Class is based on power to weight, allowing a range of engines to be used.
- Turbocharged or Supercharged engines
Competitors are able to choose tyres and parts with very little restriction which allows for a varied grid.
