The pavement of the track and skill of the drivers are ignorant of national boundaries in my book, I am a fan of racing and love the Mini. I am hopping for nothing but continued success for the Challenge series in NZ.</p> I for one enjoy seeing Mini’s on the track, to me personally it doesn’t matter which country doesn’t matter.

I stand to be corrected by Gabe, but MF really only caters for the USA market, but there are many people like myself who are regular readers and contributors outside the USA, who are really interested in what is happening in USA and enjoy and appreciate the good work of the MF team.</p> NZ event reports have been sent to MF but maybe there is not much interest in other countries events outside the USA or Australia.

If the Australian events are as successful as NZ then this will be an exciting series. Both NZ and Australia motorsport series are combined with other one-make series events, such as the Porsche GT3 Cup which run as part of a national racing series tier one programme. It may be hard to duplicate such a series in USA.</p> The New Zealand series is halfway through the second year of series racing.
