A little more information on the 2027 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 calendar we released at Silverstone last weekend.

Round 1 - 3rd April at Donington GP
Round 2 - 24th April at Snetterton 300
Round 3 - 28th-30th May at Spa Francorchamps
Round 4 - 17th July at Oulton Park International
Round 5 - 28th August at Snetterton 300
Round 6 - 18th-19th September at Donington GP
Round 7 - 23rd-24th October at Silverstone GP
Round 8 - 13th November Into-the-Night at Brands Hatch Indy

Again we are presenting an 8-event season, but this time targeting three of those events be over two or three days, featuring more than a single race. Four of the UK rounds will be on the full GP circuits of Donington and Silverstone where the cars can really stretch their legs, while the Snetterton and Oulton Park rounds are also on their larger configurations.

Along with the introduction of two extra classes for next year (grouping the G55 Ginettas together and giving the Porsche Cayman GT4s a new home), we expect to grow our grids even further to headline the British Automobile Racing Club weekends we will be appearing at.

Remember this calendar is currently 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.

More comfort. Engineered for the demands of modern mobility.

In 2016, Mintex introduced new braking technologies.
Enhanced noise control. Reduced vibration. Improved driving comfort.
As vehicles evolved, so did customer expectations.
Especially in electric vehicles, where a quieter drivetrain makes brake noise more noticeable.
Today, Mintex solutions support modern powertrains and higher comfort standards.
