Just because it’s the English automaker’s 50th birthday and because we like to point out our friends we decided to bring you this very interesting look on a different kind of racing school. Fellow Southern Automotive Media Association Member and professional racecar driver Bill Adam was on hand to teach a group of the Card and Driver editorial staff’s in-laws in a group of Mini Clubman Sports. Now teaching a group of grannies about the finer points of turning in and hitting the apex is a challenge in and of itself. This is especially true when you consider that the pupils come from a group that is better known for causing traffic than avoiding it. But the elderly women did surprisingly well, and at the same time gained a little bit of appreciation for what their son-in-laws do for a living. Thanks to the trio of talented instructors, they went from a group of nervous Nancys to real racing pros, by the end of the day they were even popping bottles like Rubens did this past Sunday at the European Grand Prix. .
7 comments: Mini racing school for mother in laws This teaching school for parent sounds new to me. And I think its kind of unique at least they give chance to old women that still want to race.
 Wow! That’s vintage and unique ! haha I can’t stop laughing. It’s a brilliant idea for our mother in laws to get a race sometimes... Let’s just treat this as their exercise.
 This is such a good start for all mothers who would love to learn driving. Though, this one is not the kind of driving they wanted to learn. Go mommies, I heart all of you!
 Wow, that seems like a good mother’s day gift. Wouldn’t it be cool if there were a drifting school for them too? I mean just how cool would it be to see a 50 to 60 year old mother/grand mother drifting in the mountains or in the tract? It will be awesome.
