Default Mini Challenge

How hard would it be and is it at all possible to run a car in the Mini Challenge tournment?! Do you know anyone that does it?

Just if I could I would love to race a Mini Challenge car and just wondered how much it all costs?

Hmmm not bad at all. Would need a corporate sponsor though!

It used to cost £30k in sponsorship and may have gone up as of this season. Have a word with one of the race teams such as Advent... Challenge cars are going quite cheaply too.

I've done a little digging around for you (can you tell I have spare time at work occasionally). If you go onto the MINI Challenge website (here) click on the prospectus menu on the far left.

You can then download the PDF prospectus with all of the details you need for racing. Looks like a starting price of just under £6k just to race for a season, but I'm sure there will be plenty to add on top of that too including car and sponsorship costs

Hi Guys thanks for the help.
I wonder how I could go about getting sponsorship, as truthfully i think i would be looking at a new shape challenge car.
Ayde_Bury thanks for having a look for me! Will have a little look around and get back to you guys about it.

40 members, a grand each...that would be nice but I think somehow unrealistic.
