“Start your engines” and be enthralled by the MINI Challenge. This club racing series combines all the sensations of racing with the MINI lifestyle and the typical go-kart feeling – in a unique package. A host of talented drivers have contested this fascinating mix of Motorsport and lifestyle staged on challenging circuits in series across the globe since 2004. This season sees the MINI Challenge take centre stage in Argentina and Brazil.

The series is open to all drivers over the age of 18 in possession of either a National A or International B/C competition licence. The only differentiator is talent as all competitors are at the wheel of identical vehicles: the MINI John Cooper Works Challenge, which makes for a perfect race car.

In order to promote equality of chance, the race cars are built in a central facility under contract, with all major components being sealed to prevent unauthorised modifications. On account of identical technical packages for teams and participants, thrilling door handle-to- door handle racing in all MINI Challenge rounds is guaranteed.

Should you attend a MINI Challenge event live, then some unique race action and paddock atmosphere awaits you. MINI fans are offered a tantalising mix of inviting lifestyle and a relaxing ambience. During race weekends the MINI Hospitality provides a popular central meeting point for drivers, teams, sponsors and guests, and offers culinary highlights, laid-back music and opportunities for mixing with VIPs.
