Have you ever dreamed of racing your Mini or C-Sedan Coupe at Goodwood? Would you like to attend a race that exceeds expectations on track and off? Don't have a massive race budget or a passport? Read on...

We are excited to announce an exclusive event that is designed to enliven the classic rivalry between Mustangs and Minis, at one of the best racetracks in all North America - Laguna Seca! Announcing the 2021 Velocity Invitational Mini vs Mustang Endurance Challenge, November 10 - 14, 2021.

This is a premium event with exceptional hospitality and ample track time. Much more than just a race weekend, this event offers incomparable value and social appeal. Exclusive hospitality, food, and drinks are all included with your entry. It is a very spousal-friendly event.

There will be a night race in addition to the qualifying and feature races (please see attached provisional schedule). Full grids competing in other sessions during the event will provide plenty of unique and rare race cars on display, with some of the most valuable race cars from around the world challenging each other on the track. Please visit https://velocityinvitational.com/ for more general event information.

We are aiming to rival Goodwood with car quality. Two drivers will share the track time for all the sessions, including the Friday "Night Enduro"

Note that cars will require headlights and taillights to compete. Cars must be well presented and prepared to C-Sedan configuration. Please contact Don Racine for tech, eligibility questions, or to get on the event list:

What's a C Sedan Mustang? Any Mustang driver wanting to enter and beat up on the little Mini would do well to watch some videos and check the track times of this little beasts.

Thanks for posting, I can remember back in the day at my home track, Mosport (now Canadian Tire Motor Sport Park) here in

Ontario Canada, the Minis would eat the Mustangs, Corvettes & Camaros in the corners, on three and sometimes two wheels  :o

Like these two Minis saying "out of the way" to this Chevy at Mosport in '69

Or like this with a Ford Escort & Mustang at Reims 1970.
