• Siblings Vicki and Charlie Butler-Henderson go head to head at MINI Challenge, Donington Park, this weekend
• Debut appearance for Vicki Butler-Henderson
• Both racing 255bhp 2.0-litre turbo-charged MINI Challenge race car

 

Brother and sister duo Vicki and Charlie Butler-Henderson will be taking sibling rivalry to the grid this weekend, battling it out in the penultimate round of the MINI Challenge series.

 

Vicki will be driving the 2.0-litre turbo-charged 2015 MINI Challenge race car competitively for the very first time today, challenging her brother on the circuit at Donington Park.

 

Charlie on the other hand, has already enjoyed a very successful first MINI Challenge season, winning 3 races so far this year. His vast racing experience includes a stint in the BTTC Racing Championships and he is a qualified racing instructor.

 

Hoping to put the brakes on Charlie’s success in the series during her appearance this weekend, Vicki is not to be underestimated. Despite only having got behind the wheel of the car she will be racing for the first time during testing yesterday, Vicki has been racing karts since the age of 12 which combined with her motorsport background, could well see her challenge the field as an unpredictable outsider.

 

Both Vicki and Charlie will be driving the 2015 MINI Challenge race car which is based on the current third-generation MINI 3-door Hatch, boasting 255bhp and a six-speed Quaife sequential gearbox.

 

The MINI Challenge race series is one of the UK’s top race series with an ever growing fan base. The race at Donington marks the 7th round of 2015 with the 8th and final round taking place on 31st October at Snetterton.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
