    Stumbled on this series, don't know how I've missed it all this time. Some really good close racing.

    I raced in that series during 2008 and 2009! Probably the best value one make series in the world! I may pop back and do some races in the future :)

    I hadn't heard of it either -- fantastic stuff! I've been clicking through other videos from the series as well.

    FWIW, I didn't see any hood scoops so I went looking for the regs (if interested, check them out here in the "regulations" section). They're all R50s, though some of the visible clues are misleading because MINI One, Cooper, Cooper S and aero kit bumpers and side skirts are legal.

    Here's Part 2 of the video above:

    Thanks :Thumbsup:

    I forgot all about that vid until I uploaded one recently!

    I have lots of videos from that series, I must get round to uploading them! one I started 16th, due to braking a driveshaft in the previous race, and 3/4 into the first lap I was 3rd haha :)
