Mini Festival returns to Brands Hatch in August for another mighty day of pocket-sized action from the UK’s favourite small car. The iconic Mini will be celebrated both on and off the track at the 12th edition of this popular event.
Door-to-door race action will be provided by classic Mini Miglias and Mini Se7ens, as well as the popular ‘Fastest Mini in the World’ contest. Also, the Swiftune organised Sanwa Trophy makes a welcomed return to the Mini Festvial, featuring a packed grid of superbly presented pre-66 Minis. After the racing, hundreds of Minis will head to take part in a special circuit parade.
A vast display of beloved classic and modern Minis will surround the legendary racetrack, with an extensive trade area and much more for Mini enthusiasts!

Paddock Hill Sunday
Paddock Hill grandstand provides an ideal location to watch the start line action, as the field jostle for position heading into the first corner. The sweeping curves of Paddock Hill and Druids Hairpin are key places for breath-taking manoeuvres and dramatic incidents!
Dunlop Mini Se7en
A regular of the Mini Festival, Mini Se7en's modified A-Series engines are genuine pocket rockets.
Mini Miglia
Even faster than the Se7ens, the Miglias can reach 125mph! The 1.3-litre, slick-shod machines power from 0-60mph in just 4.5 seconds, that's only 0.2s slower than a Porsche 911 Carrera!
Fastest Mini in the World™

Sanwa Trophy – for pre ’66 Minis
