Another amazing years racing with the Mini7 Racing Club Miglia Championship.

Ian Curley and Aaron Smith finishing the season in style. Ian with a double podium, Aaron with a 3rd in race 1 and securing a win in the final race.

After a whole season the 4 way battle for the championship came down the final race. Curley’s P2 finish denying him of the title by a single point!

Massive well done to all the drivers on the grid. Preparations for 2026 are well underway!
