Default Mini Maniac Enduro

After a brief discussion last night there are a few of us Mini Maniacs willing to run a 30 minute enduro on Sunday at SMA.
The rules are simple. One 5 minute qualifier and then a 30 minute final with unlimited pit stops.
Cars, tyres, gearing, batteries etc are as per normal club rules.

Default Rules

For Mini we run to TCS rules. The only change is any tyres, inserts and rims may be used provided they are Mini size (touring car tyres and rims not allowed). For non point scoring, the rules are not strictly enforced as we are only out there to have fun. This Sunday is all about having a different type of race format and have a relaxful time.

Check out the link for TCS rules.

Hiroshi - your tyres often look like old shoes. You'e better start with a new set if you want to last 30 mins

tyres lasting would be the least of my worries , the big problem would be whether the mini would last 30 mins of my driving without a break ...

I am sure everyone has a sports tuned they wouldnt mind trashing. Remember, it is all about endurance and you have to be able to finish the race. No pinion changes please as this race will be a good test case for enduro's next year and what is required to get a mini to the finish line. I am not a big fan of using foams but so long as they are the same or smaller then a 60D (diameter & width) then it should be OK.
