Interesting thread this and it’s magnifying where I’m currently at. I’ve a really nice Mk1 Mini built to a clubman spec, bolt in cage etc, very much as clubman minis in Historics were up to even 12-15 years ago, however what I do lack is the budget for a £25k Swiftune type engine plus all the high end running costs.
So it sits there doing nothing. Last year as Minis are my thing I did some Mighty Mini racing which I’d venture is closer to racing as was in the 60/70’s than most series now. They also run control Tyres which last and last and last.
It’s a real shame that in historics the accepted specification now seems to be the highest end of what’s achievable and not something more pared back, in a dare I say more sustainable (financially) for future of historics way.
