Organized by BMW, it was staged to celebrate fifty years of the iconic Mini. The majority of those attending were driving modern versions, but all were well aware of the Mini’s heritage. Both classic and modern sat side-by-side on display at the entrance to Silverstone to welcome the queues and queues of party-goers. Never before had so many Minis turned up in the same place, and, as we’ll see later, cars and drivers were drawn to this massive event from all corners of the world.
