I’ve set up a site for the series, check it out if you are interested.

4

I’ll join up if you allow controllers, not just wheels.

5

This. lol

Actually, I’ve just added a MINI Academy Cup Series that have no equipment requirements and a shorter season.

I created it for people who are more family oriented in mind, don’t want to spend a lot of time on testing set ups and have very limited time to play, but would still like to participate in an organized and structured event. :thumbup

Sign up is even optional. You can just show up on race day (every Wed) with your mini build to Academy specification. No commitment needed.

Oh thats lovely, as I already have a Brit Green one lol

8

And I have a blue one. But I already built a miata to spec :frowning:

Nice, then come to MX5 Cup practice tomorrow and just do the race if you have time. ReDevil too if you are interested. I don’t think people will have issues if you use controller. We got 11 confirmed entry for the race on friday.

Just make sure you’ve build the car to spec, broken it in and have read and understood the racing conduct section. I will put your name down on the list. :thumbup
