What kind of tires did those Mini have? Regular street tires or slicks?

Brilliant!

Any details on how the cars were prepared? Did they use a batch of repro Mk1 shells? What a sweet sounding motor - must be pulling close to 7500 revs. Ahhhh Longmans song!

I've never seen Mini racing like that, and I was truly impressed. I noticed friend of MotoringFile Rauno Aaltonen finished in a respectable 4th place. Surprised the commentators never once mentioned the famous rally driver's name...

Loved the part where they were running 3 Minis wide, flat-out!

Bugs on the windscreen...just like my MINI!

An exhilarating ride. Easy to see how one can get addicted to it. Thanks much!

Outstanding racing among a stellar field of drivers with some exciting overtaking maneuvers and saves! Love the light back ends of those classic Minis skating around the high speed corners of Goodwood.
