For those of you that were at the track day at lydden on sat you would have witnessed big Dave using all of the track to keep his mini under control.
We did think it very amuseing when one the marshalls came and congratulted him on a very brilliant and entertaining driving display.  Showing great car control and skill.
But we all no better.

Robert, do the Minis, I presume you are talking real Minis not the BMWs, have their own series in the SE?

Yes we are proper minis, unfortunatley they dont have there own series yet but when you have a count up there are enough of us to have our own series. I hope that we are able to put on a special mini race at lydden next year at on of the DMN rounds.

Thought BD drove a blinder all day, although I heard him most of the time as I was working on my car in the paddock. Think he should definitely think about competing in Rallycross!
I'm just pleased that my Mini doesn't have a handbrake!
