Last week we had the privilege of interviewing [Stephen Simpson](http://www.minijcwteam.com/drivers), one of the drivers of the [MINI JCW Racing Team](http://www.minijcwteam.com/).
It was a great conversion not only because Stephen’s a great guy, but also because we learned so much about how the team came about and what made it successful.
The one thing that surprised us the most is the level of fan support the team received during the season. Of note they took the second place finish at Road Atlanta, the last race of the season.
And if you want to re-watch the race, it will air on Fox Sports 1 (FS1) tomorrow (check your local listings for time).
Do you have any information on the first race on the season (I thought January / Daytona was mentioned). The mini racing site does not show any 2016 events yet and Daytona site is only showing 24 hours of Daytona at end on January.
Darren,
You can check at the website, http://www.minijcwteam.com/
Like I said, you seem to have info that is in neither the JCW site not the Daytona site.
Here is the schedule for 2016. http://www.imsa.com/series/sportscar-challenge/schedule
Thanks Ian!
So they will be at Daytona on both the 8th-10th and 27th-29th?
What is the difference between the two events? I have a small group of mini owners wanting to go, but we are not necessarily race enthusiasts.
I’m not sure Darren, but it would make sense since the 2nd race is a BMW race.
