✅ Stage 1: Qualification Days – November @ Blyton Park
✅ Stage 2: Semi-Final – December
✅ Stage 3: Final – January @ MSV’s Bedford Autodrome

Drivers will be tested on far more than just lap times. The evaluation includes:

For the first time ever, the winner will have the option to upgrade their prize and move straight into the main JCW grid – the top tier of the MINI CHALLENGE.

This reflects JamSport’s continued mission to raise the bar and provide one of the most complete, career-launching opportunities in motorsport.

There are also prizes for the top three drivers, with discounted race packages awarded to second and third place.

Applications are now open – and spaces are limited.

If you’re ready to take your shot at a life-changing motorsport opportunity, this is it.
