announce plans for a post-season taster day at Donington Park for drivers interested in joining the grid for the 2025 campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The event is scheduled to take place on Monday 14th October following the final meeting for the JCW and JCW Sport categories, and ahead of the season finale for the Cooper class &#8211; both of which will take place at Brands Hatch.<\/p>\n<p>Teams competing across all three classes will be present on the day along with a variety of cars to cater for the different needs of potential entrants, from those looking to take their first steps into competition in the hugely competitive Cooper class right through to those looking to move up to a higher-profile series in JCW or JCW Sport.<\/p>\n<p>Officials from the MINI CHALLENGE will also be in attendance in order to provide additional information on the series, and to answer any questions and queries.<\/p>\n<p>A full race licence is not required in order to take part in the taster day, although those without will need to have a full road licence.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve had a huge amount of interest from people who are considering the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE for 2025, as we have seen with the drivers who have taken the opportunity to race our guest car in JCW Sport this season,\u201d Championship Co-ordinator Rhea Beauchamp said.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWith that in mind, we thought it was a good idea to offer drivers who might be looking to join the MINI CHALLENGE next season, or who are eager to try and move up to a higher class, with the opportunity to go out on track and sample the cars and discover more about what the series is all about.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAt this stage we are looking for expressions of interest so we can finalise plans for the day, and would urge anyone interested to register their details.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Anyone interested in the taster day can register their interest by clicking <strong><a
