Dartford racer Alex Nevill is on home ground this weekend (20th & 21st July) for round 3 of the Mini Challenge Cooper Pro championship at Brands Hatch.

As part of the prestigious Mini Festival, 3 races await Alex and the rest of the Cooper Pro grid this weekend at the famous Kent circuit. It’s a challenge that the 25 year old relishes.

Speaking ahead of the weekend, Nevill said: “I’ve never lived further than 15 minutes away from Brands Hatch, so this really is a home circuit for me. That does add some pressure to the weekend, but I usually perform better under pressure so that could be a good thing!

“The Mini Festival didn’t go to plan for me last year (it was the only race weekend on which Alex didn’t win a race on his way to the Cooper Am title) and I’ll be looking to put that right this year. I’m excited to race in front of friends and family on home turf.”

Qualifying and race 1 will take place on Saturday 20th July, whilst races 2 and 3 will be broadcast live on the Mini Challenge Facebook page at 12:50pm and 17:30pm on Sunday 21st July.
