Mini takes youngsters out on the track with motorsport vision's YoungDrive

Mini is delighted to team up with motorsport vision to supply a fleet of Mini One models for its YoungDrive programme. The scheme offers children as young as 11 years old (and a minimum of 4' 8" tall) the chance to have their first taste of motoring.


The dual controlled Mini Ones are available at Brands Hatch, Oulton Park and Bedford Autodrome and each car features a DSA-approved instructor who will teach young drivers essential skills in a traffic-free environment to prepare them for hitting the roads for real when they're old enough.

"The Mini One is the perfect car to give young people their first driving experience and is very popular amongst new drivers; it's small, nippy and fantastic fun. I'm sure it will leave them counting the days to their 17th birthday!" says Jochen Goller, Director, Mini UK.

Jonathan Palmer, owner of Motorsport Vision says, "Our renowned YoungDrive programme is a fun and informative course that's designed to give a positive first experience for new drivers and its popularity has grown significantly over the past few years. I'm delighted we've joined forces with the iconic Mini brand - it really is the perfect car for young people to sample driving for the first time."
