Past champions came to the fore in the Mini Miglia triple-header at last weekend’s annual Mini Festival at Brands Hatch as Kane Astin, Ian Curley and Aaron Smith shared the race wins between them in a trio of typically entertaining races.
An untidy qualifying session had helped former Super Mighty Minis racer Elliot Stafford claim pole for the first race, but he was immediately relegated to sixth on the opening tour as 2015 champion Astin swept into the lead ahead of title rivals Curley, Smith and Rupert Deeth.
