Mini Miglia Second only to British Touring Cars in 2007  
At the end of 2007 a panel of judges for leading motorsport publication Motorsport News named the top five racing championships in the UK, with the Dunlop Mini Miglia Challenge finishing second to the British Touring Car Championship and ahead of other high profile series such as British GT, British Formula Ford, Mazda Max5 and the MINI Challenge. The ten judges, who are all leading motorsport journalists and commentators said: 'The tense three way scrap for honours went down to a nail-biting finale at Pembrey and Andy Hack emerged victorious over Kelly Rogers and Endaf Owens. But the mighty scraps between them throughout the season stood out for the judges. The race at Thruxton in July will probably never be bettered.'

Guinness World Record attempt at IMM Holland 
During the IMM 2008 we will offer you the opportunity to enter the largest parade of Minis in the world. On Sunday 11th May, during the IMM 2008, we are aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of Minis.This attempt has been officially registered with the Guinness World Records organisation and will be scrutinised by a team of officials. The current Guinness World Record is 973 Minis and dates from August 2001. We are going to try to set a new record of at least 1500 Minis, both classic and new Mini. The idea is for as many Minis as possible to drive in convoy along a route near the IMM 2008 location. The route will be closed to other traffic and marshals will be used. We also have to ensure that the record attempt conforms to certain conditions in order to qualify for official recognition. You can register on this site on the IMM 2008 Information page.
