I now see why the Willhire ended under such extortion from the new owner 
Back in 72' i was only eight,but i do remember seeing mini's being rallycrossed at Brand's on ''World of Sport'' I.T.V. 
I dare say the M.3 liked Snetterton, as they thrived on being revved hard 
Is there a photo or diagram/layout of the pre 74' circuit,as i didn't know it was different to the pre Willhire setup? |
Most Mini Sevens had their radiators moved to the front so that the fan could be removed saving engine power. It was the most fun circuit( the pre 74 ) I have ever driven on. Huge mistake destroying that layout. M3 s did work well there. By that time , we had to have rent a drivers and our car was either damaged and/or mechanically harmed so we never managed a good result.
