Swiftune Series – Minis Only
HOME » Magazine » April 2026 » Latest News in Brief » Swiftune Series – Minis Only
Equipe Classic Racing and top Mini Preparer Nick Swift have got together and created the Swiftune Series of standalone races for pre-1966 FIA Appendix K-compliant Minis and Appendix K derivatives. This new four-round series will provide Pre-’66 Mini competitors with a long-awaited platform to race head-to-head without competing against larger-capacity cars.

“Swiftune has been promoting one-off Mini-only races for over 13 years to encourage more cars onto the grid,” said Nick Swift, owner of Swiftune. “There has been huge demand within the Mini community for dedicated and affordable races — not only to create closer, fairer competition, but also to make racing more accessible for everyone.”
Four rounds at premium circuits are scheduled for 2026:
6-7 June – Snetterton
4-5 July – Donington
22-23 August – Brands Hatch Mini Festival
4 October – Silverstone
