Minis Return to Classic Silverstone

HOME » Magazine » » » Minis Return to Classic Silverstone

The 30th Anniversary of the huge summer festival at Silverstone – postponed from last year – has added a pair of pre-1966 Mini races to its one-make line-up, not only to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the diminutive Alex Issigonis’ designed car, but as part of its 30th Anniversary Greatest Hits’ celebration.  Minis were last offered a dedicated race, which met with huge success, at Silverstone in 2019.  Organisers of the Classic, set to take place at the end of July, have already announced a one-make celebration race for the 60th anniversary of the E-type Jaguar (see our January/February issue) on its busy schedule.
