It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since CMR lined up for its very first invitational race at Brands Hatch.
Since then, we’ve watched CMR grow into a thriving championship. We’ve welcomed new faces to the championship, built an incredible community and enjoyed some fantastic racing along the way.
There’s no better place to mark our first birthday than the Brands Hatch Mini Festival – one of the biggest weekends in the Classic Mini calendar, bringing together thousands of enthusiasts who share a passion for these iconic little cars.
Whether you’ve supported us from the very beginning or are discovering CMR for the first time, we’d love you to join us in the paddock to celebrate with us. Enjoy the racing, meet the drivers and be part of the first of many CMR birthdays.
