The MINI CHALLENGE Clubsport with Airtec Motorsport will once again work closely with the British Automobile Racing Club to deliver a thrilling grassroots racing series for the iconic MINI brand. The Clubsport championship is a club-level entry series and is an affiliate to the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship supporting JCW and Cooper categories.

There are multiple classes to suit different models and driver experience levels – ensuring a level playing field with plenty on-track battles. The three classes within MINI CHALLENGE Clubsport will be Cooper S, Open and Cooper Am, with cars running together on track to create one giant field.

The Cooper S class will be open to the R53 and R56 models of the MINI Cooper S at a tightly regulated level of tuning, whilst the Cooper Am Class will be open to the R50 variant as used in the MINI CHALLENGE Trophy, but with a more flexible set of technical rules. There is also the Ravenol Novice Cup for first time racers offering a welcoming environment to develop skills and a Ladies Cup – open to all female drivers across the classes.

The series promotes a strong community spirit ethos in the paddock providing a place to enjoy close competitive racing at a variety of bucket list circuits, including Thrurxton, Silverstone and Brands Hatch. 

The 2025 season for the MINI CHALLENGE Clubsport with Airtec Motorsport organised in conjunction with the British Automobile Racing Club kicks-off at Silverstone in Northamptonshire on the 17th May.

Family, friends and motorsport fans will be able to watch all the action from the BARC race weekends LIVE on our YouTube channel – with a comprehensive day of racing coverage planned.  www.youtube.com/@britishautomobileracingclub
