- I joined the MINI Challenge race at Rockingham, and what an epic amount of fun it was!
From practice to qualifying and then a double header race day, this kind of experience is seriously amazing. One of the hardest things is to jump in alongside regulars and get an understanding for everything while not upsetting the season's standings.

Thanks for watching, Tim

I joined the MINI Challenge race at Rockingham, and what an epic amount of fun it was! From practice to qualifying and then a double header race day, this kind of experience is seriously amazing. I am back in the racing seat in August at the MINI Festival at Oulton Park...
great stuff
Shmee150 awesome sauce
Shmee150 more of this please lol
Shmee150 I appreciate the honesty and no BS/ego in your recounting of the weekend. Thanks!
Shmee150 can you come to singapore
YOU KNOW ITS GUNNA BE A GOOD VIDEO WHEN SHMEES BUSTS OUT THE HANDSTAND IN THE THUMBNAIL !!!!
😂😂😂
That guy is amazing to listen to! Just speaks passion.
Tim as someone that used to race Karts when I was younger I know how hard it is when you first start. It took me a year and a half of racing every weekend to really start winning. For your first race you did amazing and should be really proud.
Great working with you across the weekend Tim, see you in August!
you've learnt a lot, nice smooth driving, good lines, looks like you've prepared quite well!
Good to see all 4 cars at Goodwood this morning!
The GT8 looks stunning in the flesh!
Liam Plunkett I saw shmee' gt8 his LT spider at the Birmingham auto show and I saw mrjww's LT there as well and I saw shmee in the abt Audi rs6 in Manchester during the last gumball 3000 and seb and mr JWW in seb's lotus Elise in the team galag wrap
Tim, I've been racing for a good few years now, and from experience I can say very well done. A very honest assessment of your weekend, and to be competing even with the back of the grid with such limited experience is superb. You're only going to get faster too. Look forward to the next one!
Handstand= Great video ahead!
Some look at this experience for exposure of channel, but what i love Tim is you love doing this in general! Its so exciting to watch this!
Happy you are doing this mate! Keep it up!
It doesn't matter what position you finished in. You had the most fun so you won!
its a race so it actually does matter.. if place/time dosent matter to you just go to track days and fuck around by yourself. Nobody wants to race against someone who dosent care.
If you don't win you lose, and that's worth nothing.
why don't you take your Shmini to a track day once!😂
Jorn Ribbers because it would die
good seeing you at goodwood, great cars and the aston martin gt8 you brought had such a distinctive sound.
i was just about too leave then i saw the number plate and sprant back! ha
Shmee doing a handstand, that's BONKERS!
+Devin talk about hidden talents! I wouldn't have guessed he was a ski instructor.
"To finish 1st, first, you must finish." Well done, Tim! You brought it home in one piece, without drama, and gained valuable experience. Looking forward to your next race.
Great video! Thanks for taking us along!
+Shmee150
It was good to meet you & check out your 4 cars at Goodwood this morning & good job in the Mini race :)
Noice! I had a chance to join a drive around the track once and this video really shows what it's about. From the stripped down brute raw cars and their sound, the rattles, the judder, to the cars around you and mayhem happening, this just really brings that experience back. I bet it's a lot to take in and all in a very short time. Just keep it up and go get 'em!
Also, this is why I love the channel, just some different insights into the automotive world. Nicely done!
Well done shmee.
Great great video SHMEE-Team .... fabulous banter with the Driver's and giving us a real life experiences of racing on a competitive trak and anything can happen and seeing such a genuine sence of excitement and enthusiasm...!!! Fantastic video from the SHMEE-Team.
IM loveing the synopsis of the race Tim.
Worked in the Mini challenge and it is very competitive! starting as an outsider it is pretty intimidating and challenging but great experience to look back on in the future
It must be so much fun racing with other minis, you should take a picture with shmini and racing mini!
Good to see you did conservative lines not to spoil the other racers races. 4seconds is that bad a novice and brake issues . In a very very competitive class . Great exciting watch . Nice one and well done .
Well done shmee 150 I am pleased to see you are treating it as a learning curve! Keep going and one day you will suddenly want to go for it and to hell with the others ;)
Yea its funny you mentioned the mental aspect of driving. Sometimes it just doesn't feel right, and if you push it, that will end up in a crash easily. I don't care how well I can drive, I never pish a car or driving area that I'm not familiar with. Its just playing it safe until you know the limit. Great vid, keep em coming. #schmeefansincesloanstreet lol
Considering you're new to this I think you did very well, I'm sure you'll get faster as time goes on. Thanks for sharing this real fun experience. Good on you Tim.
cheers
Hi Tim! Excellent videos, keep up the good work. One content idea I've had for a while (not related to this video): How about talking about general road trip tips, as you're globetrotting all the time? Planning, FAQ's, lodging, packing, food etc. Interesting?
I think you don't take enough risks, but all in all, clearly an interresting experience for you !
Mohamed Yassine spoken like a guy who's never raced in his life,nice one 😔
Cool vid shmee! Glad your having a great time! I have seen others drive like you. First on the brakes and changing your line going into a crowded corner way earlier than need be. This is usually a mental error not a talent error. Stop thinking about making a mistake! Go drive! As soon as you lose fear of a mistake your confidence will grow! Thank you again for taking us to the track !
good effort I did a track day in a Ariel Atom around Rockingham its a good track I even had a passenger ride in a scsa stockcar around the oval I recommend the track to everyone.
The best of luck to you and your team!
Go get them Tim!
Learn to heel-and-toe, even for a sequential. Enjoyed the hell out this video. Want more race videos.
Well done, you did good! They are not easy cars to drive and its a very competitive championship!
how much weight and hp are those minis
13:12 that white car though 😂 what a launch
Fair play to you! Keep going at it!
If it's a sequential gearbox, why use the clutch on downshift and no throttle blip?
anotherone10 it's what generally works best and is quickest for these cars. Lots of drivers have experimented with heel and toe, and found it to be slower. Using the clutch saves a lot of stress on the gearbox
Thanks for the info!
Awesome seeing you do this that little bump in the back was indeed because you brake a little bit to early. But hey overall you did pretty good with Those Guys that have done racing a lot more than you have.
Amazing Video Shmee!!
Keep at it Tim.
Do you only need to use the clutch on downshifts with these sequential gearboxes?
Yup this one you have to
Shmee150 no heel and toe though? Is there no need on these sequential boxes?
Tim, how did you do that handstand?
Hey Tim, my parents told me that we were going on holiday around th start of streetgasm 2000. and i canceled my ticket to meet you in amsterdam! im hoping to see you there!
Nice track car and video. Mind to share where to do such car wrap. Tq.
im looking forward for this
shmee do you buy a Aston Martin db 11 in future?
Looks like a blast! Good job Lego... Glad your back in one piece :)
THANKS, TIM AND CREW
That looks like so much fun!
can someone explai me one thing?
that mini where he was running is his mini?
Nope that is not my MINI. I have a Classic Mini
Oh ok I thought that that MINI that you drove was yours but you could only drive it in track days or something like that xD
Is turn 1 supposed to be flat out?
Would love to see an in depth video with the Ginetta G40!
looks as though you had a great time, by the way what position did Charlie finnish in? keep the videos coming I enjoy them.
Good thing to get into love it!
What do think of tuner cars like skyline and supra
Not really my kind of car.
Rafiul Haque cars like that takes some wrenching skills. Not something he's known for. :)
Shmee150 not really my cup of tea either
The guy doesnt even wash his own cars XD
You should get the Shmini wrapped in a replica colour scheme to your race car. That would be awesome.
That guy is amazing
Respect Tim! Great lines in quali, and you brought the car home safely TWICE. The car looks awesome, I think you should get the Schmini wrapped as a homage to your race car.... (can a classic pay homage to its younger counterpart?? 🤔 well, you know what I mean!)
You should really look into the trying to get a seat in the Clio Cup that supports the BTCC.
From the side you look like the purple kid from the Cramp Twins
Good to see you dont take stupid risks.
Well done
7:51 You sound like a squeaky clarinet
"It's time. Time to race let's do this!!
1:54 Of course it's Blue! :D
Love these racing videos! Shmee, are you on iracing by any chance? :)
Is the car FWD?
Some very good drivers in that series including btcc drivers
Be keen to see how you do at oulton
looking good : )
there's a David Brown mini out there waiting for you to put in a order
I WAS THERE!!!!!!!!!
Hey Tim, I have a question. Do you actually own the Mini Challenge car or is it just a tester for the challenge group?
It is a car used for people who jump in the challenge cup and get invited.
Oh cool, your a very talented driver and I encourage you to build one. I'm sure everyone on this channel will love seeing some content of you racing like this.
great vid and hope you do more like this....can you sneak the aston into the next event 😃
Both Astons will be at my next event, Fuel Faction in Italy :)
wow im jealous
One of my mates works at excelr8 and he was there that weekend haha
I was there at rockingham and when I saw Shme getting destroyed in his race!
So are you going to be a race driver?
Did you have to pay to race or was it free since you were a guest driver ?
I am a guest driver :) MINI invited me
You lucky man
4 seconds isnt bad at all
Common Shmee, lets do better next time ... I'm sure its way harder than it looks but these are rare opportunities to get into these races so just try to practise more and be competitive for the upcoming races!
#GO HARD CUZ WE AINT GOING HOME!!
Have even done a handstand and fell on you head ?
Sgd On cars hell yeah.He scraped all his hair off.
try training in professional go-karts, u need a lot more tracktime
Is he Vicky Butler's brother?
Great race, I went to see my friend racing at Brands Hatch last week in his MG Metro, checkout my video on my channel!
Charlie Butler-Henderson seems a jolly nice bloke
you should meet his sister Vicky I met her at a kart event she is great
Shmee if you turn in little faster and stay hard in corner you will cut some people and some seconds
All the racing expect F1 starts early in the morning. Why you didnt ask at what time the race starts? Haha! Keep the good work bud! All the best next race
The race was moved last minute two hours earlier due to a change in the planning.
Ohhh! My apologies didn't know that detail. Next time you will do better for sure.
"If you no longer go for a gap that exists you are no longer a racing driver". Gotta stick your mini into the gaps, there were plenty of opportunities ahead of you.
RIP Rockingham. Maybe future opportunities down the line.
aye
Enjoyed it ... are you sponsoring or is Mini a sponsor? How did you get this ride?
MINI UK invited me :)
i thought he was at goodwood??
I was, but that video will arrive on this channel today or tomorrow :)
thanks tim!
everyone is crap at first more seat time and it will come to you
mantap gan....👍👍👌👌
I didn't knew Mini can compete with GT race cars
They have their own class and races.
good seeing you at goodwood, great cars and the aston martin gt8 you brought had such a distinctive sound
I don't want to sound rude but you seem like a very organised guy, surely you'd know the night before what time you'd be racing?
Not if the race gets moved forward last minute and at least by two hours ;)
I thought there would be a catch!
the Smig ;-)
Hol up, u can do a handstand?!?!
next thing you'll know and he'll be good at something like skiing
Can he even heal and toe ???
MsCRYSLS drivers don't heel and toe in these cars, it's slower
You still need to rev matching it, but if you do it too slow which is quite an easy mistake for anyone , yo car will be jerky
MsCRYSLS trust me, I work for the team in the video
Track your mini. End of
you need to be faster with gear changes
conran joyce it's a sequential with ignition cut flat shift - you can only change at one speed, and that's a lot quicker than an H-Pattern box
