clubMINI Motorsport




clubMINI encourage those interested to participate in Club Sprint days, held at various circuits in Victoria, where you can compete with fellow members and friends of similar driver level (or vehicle type) based on timed laps. Points are awarded for each category of vehicle, which includes non-BMW cars, to add a little competition through the year, without actually having to race anyone.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
Circuit Events
clubMINI attends Club Sprints held at Winton, Morwell, Sandown, Calder, or Philip Island run by a variety of CAMS affiliated clubs. You will need to complete an entry form and submit it in advance….occasionally there may be spots available on the day but these events tend to fill up. The cost of a day is around $160 to $200 depending on the club and the circuit.
  1. A CAMS level 2 licence (these can be purchased for around $95 for a 12 month licence, no testing required, and can be obtained from the Club on the day of the event itself).
  2. A helmet is required which must meet Australian Standards and be in good condition – a basic motorcycle helmet is the minimum and can be purchased from any motorbike shop. Full face helmets are also sold at specialty race gear stores.
  3. A 1kg fire extinguisher must be mounted within reach of the driver (below the front of the driver’s seat is a common location, and not a bad idea for all older cars anyway). These cost less than $100 and will be valid for 3 years.
  4. A secondary bonnet restraint for those which open up from the front of the car. These can be rigged with some rope or even a belt if necessary, but a more permanent arrangement is recommended if you plan to participate regularly.
  5. Headlights must be taped or covered with appropriate film for the day unless you have non glass lenses.
  6. Clothing must cover to wrists and ankles (i.e. no T-shirts) and be of non-synthetic material, e.g. cotton or denim. Sensible, flat shoes are recommended, no thongs or sandals.
  7. Brakes and tyres in good condition, oil and fluid levels topped up, no oil or coolant leaks, and the car must be emptied completely (inc. all boot, glove box contents etc). All cars are checked by scrutineers prior to any circuit event.
It is wise to prepare for all weather conditions so bring a parka/jacket, sunglasses, a hat, sunblock and insect repellant, and plenty of water. Most (but not all) venues offer kiosk facilities.
