Powerlite & Goodwood Mini encounter

Powerlite starter motors to the fore in epic Goodwood Mini encounter.

Spectators at the recent 77th Members Meeting at Goodwood were treated to an incredible display of racing by the worlds finest exponents of Mini racing. 60 Minis were assembled at the famous West Sussex venue to cele-brate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Mini. Two 30 car ‘semi-finals’ on the Saturday created an aggregate final grid on the Sunday for the fastest 30. What then transpired was a race that will be talked about for years and has already no doubt, gone down as one of the highest of highlights since the classic venue re-started it’s motor rac-ing activities. From the 60 cars entered, over 80% of the grid used Powerlite starter motors with the top 6 in that final all using the products. Nick Swift, Nick Padmore, Jonathan Lewis, Ian Curley, Darren Turner, et al , provided 20 minutes of heart in the mouth stuff, only settled in the last few yards of the race. The first four cars crossing the line covered by less than a second. Thank you to everyone who made the meeting such an incredible event and just to say that we had played a small part in it makes us hugely proud.
