Another amazing years racing with the Mini7 Racing Club Miglia Championship.

Ian Curley and Aaron Smith finishing the season in style. Ian with a double podium, Aaron with a 3rd in race 1 and securing a win in the final race.

After a whole season the 4 way battle for the championship came down the final race. Curley’s P2 finish denying him of the title by a single point!

Massive well done to all the drivers on the grid. Preparations for 2026 are well underway!

20 year old 10x6” MAG wheels in for restoration. Paint stripped, inspected, blasted and powder coated. Looking beautiful as always 👌

Can’t wait to see these back on the restored cabriolet!
