The Mini Challenge Clubsport Championship will enter into its debut season allowing an opportunity for drivers to continue climbing the British Motorsport ladder. Adhering to a strict power to weight ratio, the championship will consist of Turbo charged R56 and Supercharged R53 Cooper S race cars which resemble nothing to the normal road going versions you are used to.
For 2023, the Championship will travel to some of the most exciting venues in British motorsport. All rounds will be supported with Live Streaming available on YouTube via the BARC website. The championship will headline the Mini Festival at Brands Hatch as well as supporting the British Truck Racing and British Endurance Championships at Thruxton and Donington Park.
