MINI 7S RETURN TO BTCC BILL

The Mini 7 Racing Club will return to the British Touring Car Championship package in 2023 for the Thruxton event on June 3-4.

The popular classic Mini contest appeared at BTCC events at Thruxton in 2019 and Brands Hatch in 2020, and it is the latest category to move into the BTCC support space vacated by Ginetta switching its championships to British GT’s package. The Minis join Legends, Caterham and Radical in being recent additions to BTCC’s bill.

The unveiled Mini 7 calendar also includes a Zandvoort return in July.

BTCC chief executive Alan Gow said: “The Mini 7 Racing Club has always proved hugely popular among the spectators trackside, as well as the many more watching on television. So I was keen to have these classic Minis in our guest slot at Thruxton.”
