MiniTwins Championship 2009

The MiniTwins race series was created by a couple of racers looking for an affordable championship using modern machinery that would attract beginners and experienced racers alike. The series was run for the first time in 2003 under the auspices of Bemsee, the largest racing club in the world.

In 2004 MiniTwins continued to grow with Bemsee and a second, smaller series was run by North Gloucester Road Racing Club to support their Sound of Thunder series. 2005 sees the series grow to include an MRO championship, which is the natural step to British Championship level, and will be televised on SKY during the year. The 2006 season saw MiniTwins championships at Bemsee, MRO, North Gloucester, Auto 66 and North East Motorcycle Racing Club.

The series is open to any water cooled, four stroke, twin cylinder machine of up to 650cc, or air cooled, four stroke machine of up to 820cc. Tuning is limited to adding a race exhaust system and altering the jetting, or fuel injection mapping for the more modern bikes. Suspension may be modified and race bodywork can be added. The modifications are limited to keep development and running costs to a minimum.
