Mini Monte 2021
It's Back!
Some 53 years later and the Mini Car Club of NSW will be running the MINI MONTE RALLY again.
The rally will be run as a touring assembly with a mix of competition tests thrown in each day. You will be touring some of the best NSW scenic Central West back roads for 5 days with up to 40 other teams in Minis of all variants from classic Minis to modern Minis, Moke’s to Jems and anything in-between.
The aim is to have fun. You will be matched up in buddy groups with 3 other teams and each buddy group will tour as a group and compete as a group. The rally will be starting at Sydney Motorsport Park and you will be driving around 350km a day on some of the best and smoothest dirt roads the central west has to offer, but the catch is you won’t know where you’re going till after each morning’s briefing where you will be given that days route instructions.
On the last day we will be returning to Rosehill Racecourse to be part of the Minis DownUnder 2021 ** celebrations where the winning buddy group will have a prime position in the display area.
When competing in one of the Motorkhanas or Khanacross tests, which could be on dirt or asphalt, you will be gaining points for your buddy group not individual teams.
You won’t have to worry about booking accommodation as we have organised it all for you and it forms part of your entry fee. We will be staying in motel and hotel style accommodation on the way, again grouped with your buddy group. You will have to organise your own meals, although we have booked some restaurants for a group booking.
If you have any car problems on the way, there is no need to worry as we have a number of support vehicles with trailers to get you home safely.
To try and make it a bit easier on the pocket we have divided the entry fee into two components, $400.00 for the touring assembly and competition events and $800 per team for 4 nights’ accommodation.
For more information and entry forms please email Glenn: minimonte2021@miniclub.com.au
Come and join us on the 27th of July for an exciting 5-day tour of New South Wales’ Central West’s most scenic back roads with some driving tests thrown in to test your skills.
