MINI United 2007: a day at the races

Posted on by Ian C.

Got up REALLY early this morning, for a coach ride to the Zandvoort track so we could have a drive on the track before the events truly open – so early in fact, they weren’t ready for us! In time, we did get to the track, with Quack Quack Jacks help …


We got an R56 Cooper to drive, complete with navigation – that knew the track layout!

After track time, we hung out at the various MINI tents, grabbed some breakfast, shopped and generally enjoyed the good weather and the many views, including a car wash!

We had great fun driving a runflat tire equipped MINI convertible with flat tire – the difference in handling between left turns (OK) and right turns (poor with the flat tire) was educational, and having no-one else on the setup left us driving round multiple times having great fun 🙂

We also visited “the beach” and had BBQ lunch, saw the ACV30 concept car (very cool) and met Gary who introduced us to Jon who we handed QQJ over to:

After that, back to the hotel, followed by MINIs and admiring Netherlands architecture!
