Preview of the HRCR Mintex 2016 “Old Stager” Championship incorporating the Mini Sport Mini Cup

Following on from the successful running of the Mini Cup section of the Championship in 2015, culminating in a record 12
Minis competing on the final rounds on the Rally Isle of Man last September, this year has started with a massive
resurgence of interest in rallying minis.

The Championship was launched at the Historic Rally Car Register “Open Day” at the motor museum at Gaydon on
Saturday 16th January. There are 7 rounds all on asphalt, which partly accounts for the interest from the mini fraternity,
starting with the Agbo Stages at Weston Park on 20th March. So popular is this event also launched at the Open day,
that the entry list of 75 was filled in one day.

Importation rules regarding vehicles are very specific: Only those over 25 years in age may be brought in to the USA without compilance to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).
