Series Overview - The
John Cooper Challenge is a multi-discipline series based on the road
going MINI Cooper and MINI Cooper S but specially built, and race prepared
by John Cooper Motorsport. It was set up as a low cost formula for
amateur and novice drivers and created by Mike Cooper in 2002 to celebrate
his father's unique association with Minis old and new. The John Cooper
Challenge was conceived as a 'package' with all technical, sporting
and marketing assistance and management provided to the competitors,
and co-ordinated with the promotional and marketing activities through
press and television exposure.
