MINI CHALLENGE JCW:
The JCW CLASS sits at the top of the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE, offering a specification that is closer to the BTCC cars it shares a stage with than any other single-make championship in the UK – but at a fraction of the cost.
Goodyear slick tyres, a Damico tuned 2-litre engine, Quaife sequential gearbox, three-way adjustable Nitron dampers and Alcon brakes ensure the JCW Class provides the perfect stepping stone to touring car racing while representing the ‘Best of British’.
