Scotland’s Oly Mortimer will join 2008 MINI Challenge Champion Martin Depper with a guest drive in the German MINI CHALLENGE at MINI United. The event organised to celebrate 50 years of the MINI will be held at Silverstone on May 22-24, and racing will be on the GP circuit.

As the current MINI Challenge S Class leader Oly has earned his place on the grid, "I’m absolutely delighted t be offered the chance to be able to race in the German MINI ...

...CHALLENGE at Silverstone. I managed a good start to the season at Rockingham with 2 wins and a 2nd place, but the competition in the MINI Challenge is tough and I will need all my focus to win the Championship, this drive will allow me to just enjoy myself and hopefully give the British fans something to cheer about. Martin and I may need to talk tactics!’" said Mortimer.
