is two years since the
Mini Seven Racing
Club’s terrific twin
championships last visited Castle
Combe, but they are back once
again to guarantee crowd-pleasing
entertainment, as they have been doing
without fail since their first ever visit
nearly half-a-century ago!
MINI SE7EN
On 4 June 1966, Castle Combe
hosted the third ever race for
Formula Mini-7. Winner that
day of the then fledgling 850cc
budget saloon formula was Bob
Fox, who would go on to win the
inaugural title. Today, the Mini

Seven
Racing Club’s (M7RC) Bob
Fox Trophy for 1.0-litre Mini
Se7ens is one of the most prized
achievements in the clubmans’
racing calendar, and there is no
shortage of contestants trying to
add their name to it.
Carrying #1 is Andrew Deviny
from Newport Pagnell, who took
his second Mini Se7en crown in
2013, seven years after his first
National title. Andrew actually
won the last Mini Se7en race
held here in 2012, albeit a nonchampionship thrash in the rain
in front of the Motors TV cameras,
and is a firm favourite for the day’s
Challenge double-header. Max
Hunter from Leighton Buzzard
is another former National
champion (2007), and has come

very close to a second title on
several occasions, so keep a
lookout for his energetically
driven #46 Hunters Garage car.
Max also holds the class lap
record around the 1.85-mile track.
Darren Thomas will be looking to
finish higher than fourth overall,
as he has done so for the past two
seasons, and knows how to win in
his Roonspeed car, while a firsttime race winner last season was
2011 top Novice Ashley Davies,
who makes the relatively short
trip over the Severn Bridge and up
the M4 from South Wales. After
a much longer journey in 2013,
Ashley’s pitlane start to brilliant
victory at a very wet Zolder in
Belgium, earned him the M7RC’s
Drive of the Season.
Of the expected frontrunners,
the sideways style of Gareth Hunt
is always entertaining around
Combe, and indeed Gareth won
the last points-scoring race here
in 2012, while Graeme Davis can
be expected to be on the fringes
of a podium finish. Graeme

began racing in the category in
1984, long before some of his
rivals were even born, likewise
Julian Affleck (1976) and Jim
Burrows (1969). Among the
young ‘whipper-snappers’, Leon
Wightman, Kieren McDonald and
Ross Billison are outside bets from
the chasing pack, while there
will be a new champion this year
in the standard tuned 1.3-litre
‘scholarship’ S-Class, as current
title holder Julian Proctor has
moved up to the main class. Look
out for the S-Class cars numbered
from #90 to #99.
Picking a winner isn’t easy
though – like the Mini Se7en
drivers themselves, close your
eyes and hold your breath as the
pack swarms into Quarry for the
first time and see who emerges in
front! Chances are however they
will be shuffled back in the order
as a typical, door-handle-to-doorhandle, slipstreamer around the
fast, open Wiltshire circuit unfolds.
Enjoy!

been in the Miglia title hunt since
switching categories. Perhaps
2014 will be his year?
Rupert Deeth, also from the
Cambridge area, has spent a
couple of seasons as teammate to
‘retiring’ champion Baldwin, and
has clearly learned much from
the ‘Mini master’, and just needs
to turn that front-running pace
into an elusive first victory. Both
Richard Casey from Lancashire
and Dave Drew from Hampshire
will be carrying the colours of
Challenge co-sponsor Mini Sport,
and in Richard’s case also the #37
made famous by Mini rallying
legend Paddy Hopkirk. Both too
will be looking to go one better
than a pair of second and third
places respectively in 2013, while
past race winners Colin Peacock,
Tony Le May and Niven Burge can
be title candidates if they run the
full season. In addition, Jon Lee is
planning a return to the category
after a number of years away
developing various racing cars,
including an intriguing motorbikeengined Mini Cooper.
And the likely outcome of
not one, but two, Mini Miglia
encounters? Well, with speeds
topping over 120 mph, expect
some thrilling nose-to-tail and
three-or-four-abreast action. Just
don’t blink, or you’ll miss it!

Chairman’s Chat
Words of welcome to all
for the season opener...
S
ince our chairman is taking a
well-earned break, I have the
honour of writing a few words
to welcome you to our new
newsletter and provide a quick preview
of what we have coming up this year, so
here are the top ten things that will be
great about our Club in 2014:
1. Cracking and varied racing calendar
2. BBQs at all the double-headers
3. 10+ new racing members
4. New Mini7 Classic series
5. Two Mini Racing Festivals
6. Continued support from Mini Sport
and other key sponsors, A-Series
Spares, Spax, Piper Cams, Mini
Magazine and Dunlop
7. New sponsor, love:mini magazine
and the support of Craig McBeth, the
website’s founder
8. Strengthened Press Officer & Social
Media team including Roy Sisley,
Jamie Snelling, Mark Chandler and
Richard Williamson
9. New club photographer, Matthew
Barrington
10. Full grids and amazing racing…
To enable all the above, we need to be
disciplined and I hope that everyone
has now read and been made aware of
the bulletins on engine sealing, cam
shafts and finally, sponsor logos. Note
please that this year, there will be extra
diligence on sponsors’ logos and we ask
for your support here since there will
be zero tolerance on these decals being
placed incorrectly. A copy of the full
regulations are available from the club
and hopefully you should have received
your copy with your membership renewal.
MINI-7 CLASSIC Series /
INVITATION Class
Always keen to innovate
and prolong the racing
heritage of the original Mini,
the M7RC has introduced
a Mini-7 Classic series
inviting Mini owners in the
burgeoning historic racing
car scene to come and race
alongside the two mainstay
categories, and will join
the Mini Miglia grids today.
Indeed, many of the drivers
are former M7RC members,
and the likes of Ian Curley

Dunlop Mini7 Classic series
NEw sponsor looking to
boost mini7 club profile
T
he Mini7 Racing Club
has agreed a new mediasponsorship deal with online
magazine, love:mini, as part of an
effort to increase publicity and
awareness of the championship.
love:mini is a free bi-monthly,
online-only magazine for both
classic and new Mini enthusiasts.
The publication will be covering
the season in great detail through
race reports and can be read for
free at www.love-mini.co.uk.
“love:mini’s online reach is a
great opportunity to boost the
Club’s profile and get more people
involved with both the Mini 7 Club
and Mini motorsport as whole.”
says Colin Peacock of the Mini7
Club. “Working with love:mini
we will hopefully reach a new
audience who look to get their
information online nowadays.”
As part of the deal love:mini will
produce the Official Mini7 Racing
Club newsletter and work with the
Club to promote the series.
love:mini Editor, Craig McBeth
said: “The Mini 7 Club has a great
heritage that has run alongside the
history of the Mini and deciding
to work with the Club was a nobrainer. As the longest running
and, in my opinion, most exciting,
form of one-make motorsport,
getting more people interested in
the Club is no less than it deserves.”

championship winners
Bill Sollis and Ian Curley
will return to the track at Castle
Combe on April 21st, along
with other greats from the Mini
7 such as Endaf Owens, Nick
Paddy, Steve Jones and more, all
racing their respective Appendix
K Mini’s in the inaugural race of the Dunlop Mini7 Classic
series.
“The idea of the Dunlop Mini7 Classic series came to us
from our ex members, simply put, what they wanted was
a way to race their highly entertaining Appendix K cars
within the friendly Mini7 club atmosphere and we were
only too keen to find a way to accommodate their request
and for the first year at least, the series will be run as an
invitation class, with many of the drivers predicting that
20+ cars could be on the grid in 2015” says Colin Peacock
of the Mini7 Club.
“It’s a cracking idea, we’re looking forward to being part
of it and on the grid at Combe” says Ian Curley, adding that
“these cars are going to be real crowd pleasers as we go
three abreast into Quarry, sideways!
Bill Sollis said, “there seems to be an almost insatiable
appetite out there for the
chance to race these cars, for
me, to go back to racing with
the Mini7 club was something
we have wanted to do for
a long time and this is the
perfect opportunity”

Mini 7 Racing:
A potted history
Nearly half-a-century for Britain’s longest
running one-make saloon car series
WORDS: Jeffrey Parish & Richard Williamson
T
he Mini 7 Club was originally
formed in the early 1960s
by a group of motoring
enthusiasts who discovered the
versatility of the original Minis
(the Morris Mini Minor and the
Austin Se7en) and the ease with
which they could be modified
for competition. Meanwhile, the
present Mini Seven Racing Club
(M7RC) was formed in 1975 of an
amalgamation between the old
Racing and London Centres of the
M7C.
By 1966, Special Saloon racing
was already becoming rather
expensive for many M7C members
and so, initially calling upon the
race-organising expertise of the
750 Motor Club, the ultimate lowcost racing formula was devised:
Formula Mini 7, with restricted
tuning 850cc engines and control
tyres,
aimed
at lowbudget racers starting out.
SPONSORS
A halfway house between the
850cc Formula Mini 7 and the Free
Formula cars was provided in 1969
with the introduction of the 1-litre
(998cc) Miglia Mini Formula, with
twin chokes, less restricted tuning,
wide slick tyres, and primarily for
Mini Se7en drivers wishing to
progress, or for the generally more
experienced saloon racer. This
initially attracted few of the hordes
of eager novices who, armed with
copies of the late Clive Trickey’s
immortal book Building & Racing
an 850 Mini, flocked to Mini 7s.
In 1971, a secondary series was
introduced, organised by the
Thames Estuary Automobile Club
(TEAC) for the South Eastern-based
drivers, and over the years this

morphed into the Southern/
Winter Series. Similarly, the
Graham Hill Trophy, primarily
aimed at novices, also came
and went.
A major change came in
1976 when, for the first time,
the Mini parent company,
Leyland Cars (formerly BMC,
later BL, then Austin Morris/
Rover, RoverSport, etc), gave
backing to the Se7ens and
Miglias in exchange for the
M7RC administering Leyland’s
Group 1-based 1275 GT
class. The previously undersubscribed Miglias, renamed
Mini 1000, developed into a
closely fought and increasingly
professional National series,
while the Se7ens (renamed
Mini 850), despite remaining
an essentially ‘fun’ formula,
benefited from a smarter
image to attract more
attention than ever. The 1275
GTs lasted five seasons before
being superseded by Mini
Metros - but that’s another
story...
The basic Mini 7 format
remained unchanged for
nigh on
25 years before an increase
in engine size to 1000cc in
1991. With the 850cc ceasing
production in the early-1980s,
replacement parts were harder
to source and the engines
had become incredibly highly
stressed, so the adoption of a
more durable, milder tuned
1000cc made sense. In line
with the prevailing ‘green’
issue there was a switch to
unleaded fuel too, and to
differentiate the two formulae
once more, the Miglias made
the jump to 1300cc power in
1994. Into the 21st Century,
and a ‘budget tuning’ S-Class
category for both formulae
was also introduced from 2006
onwards while, always looking
to be innovative, in 2012
the M7RC created an
Invitation category for
A-Series Minis that otherwise
didn’t have anywhere else
to race on a regular basis.
Heading into 2014 the
Invitation category has further
expanded with Mini-7 Classic,
enabling Mini owners in the
flourishing historic racing
scene, many of whom are
ex-M7RC members, to come
and race alongside the two
dedicated racing formulae of
the M7RC.
One final interesting statistic
is the driver head count: well
over 1400 names appear on
the M7RC roll call over 45+
years; that equates to more
than 30 new drivers per
season… What other singlemake race series can claim this
strong support over such a
long period?
