Every successful team needs a good network of support and the Bailey Racing Team will get just that for the 2014 Classic Mini racing campaign.

The team will be competing in championships across both the UK and Europe covering a total of 6,000 miles throughout the entire campaign.

And when they are not involved in high-stakes competition, the team will be able to relax in the luxury of a Bailey Unicorn Madrid which has been named as their vital support vehicle for the duration of the season.

The team will take part in 11 race meeting across the UK and then three in Europe between April and October, taking in Zolder in Belgium, Zandvoort in Holland and Jerez in Spain.

For the first time in its history it will have a female driver as 18-year-old Ella Blue has signed up to join Charlie Budd (21), Justin Cooper (33). They will be coached by ex-Formula Renault Champion, Westley Barber.

Jonathan Lewis, team leader of Team Bailey Racing, said: “This is a very exciting time for me and the team, and I wish to thank Bailey of Bristol for loaning us such a fantastic caravan which means we have a comfortable place to eat, sleep and relax in between races.”
