The Cooper Class<\/strong> is the first step on our championship ladder, but often produces the most exciting racing that the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE<\/strong> can offer.<\/p>\n

The Cooper Class has made highly successful appearances on the BTCC calendar for a number of seasons, and will return to entertain fans at another three events on the highest stage in UK motorsport during the year ahead.<\/p>\n

The entry level Cooper Class car uses a 130bhp 1.6-litre normally aspirated engine, six-speed manual gearbox and Goodyear slick and wet tyres, with the allocation of new tyres controlled throughout the season for cost control and competitive performance purposes.<\/p>\n

In the interest of simplicity and keeping control of budgets, the adjustability of the cars is kept to a minimum. Modifications to toe, ride height, the single-way AST control dampers and optional Forge rear camber arms are all that is available, making the Cooper Class the ideal place for drivers to gain experience.<\/p>\n

The car is suited to drivers of all ages and experience, whether that be drivers new to car racing, those with some karting\u00a0 experience, or those who simply want to enjoy the close, fair racing of the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE on a high profile stage, but with a tightly controlled budget.<\/p>\n
