Meet the Team
John
John started driving cars aged 10, at his family’s home and he has never stopped being interested in them. He has owned many classic cars and is a keen motorsport enthusiast. After 2 years of assisting James, he caught the bug. They built a new Mighty Mini to start John’s motorsport career in 2024, at the age of 60!
He has loved his past 2 seasons racing in the championship. John runs his own architectural design practice which has been in business for over 20 years. With Rodger Tello wanting to retire, John was determined to see the Mighty Minis championship survive and flourish.
With the backing of wife Sue and James he has bought the company. He has many new ideas and is keen to retain the original ethos of ‘affordable mini racing’, this is paramount to the new venture. The race fees are now set at under £400 for 2026, it will be one of the cheapest forms of motorsport available.
James
Sue
Sue has supported both husband John and son James since they joined Mighty Minis. She is a friendly and welcoming figure in the paddock providing refreshments to all. Behind the scenes she helps with the social media, merchandise and general administration.
A keen car enthusiast with an eye for detail, she attends every meeting.
James has grown up around classic cars and like John was driving at the age of 10. He secured work experience whilst still at school with JB racing, a local firm racing classic Jaguars. This led to him helping at all the classic races at home and in Europe. He has been to Zandvoort, Spa, Nürburgring, Silverstone Classic (now Silverstone Festival) and Goodwood on many occasions. Throughout this time his love of the classic mini meant that he saved and purchased a 1960 850cc mini. John then purchased the Mighty Mini for James in 2021 on the understanding that James would fund the racing. He was able to do this by buying, repairing and selling ride-on lawnmowers.
After completing his Geography degree, he now works for bf1 systems providing technical support for their range of motorsport components manufactured in Diss, Norfolk. James regularly writes articles for both the Mini Cooper Register’s “CooperWorld” and MiniWorld magazines, as well as maintaining and building race minis. James manages Jenkins Motorsport on Facebook and Instagram with a growing number of followers and is responsible for all social media and website activities.
Bob
Bob Marsh is the Mighty Mini's Championship Coordinator.
He gets involved with any issues between the drivers and the Administration Team, at the 750 Motor Club and the Administration Team at the circuit venue.
He ensure the racing weekend runs as smooth as possible as well as helping new drivers know what, where and how the meeting works.
He is not a technical person, but will make sure everyone knows who to speak to or email. Bob works closely with Derek and they can often be found having a full fry up breakfast together at the track!
Derek
Derek is our Mighty Mini Motorsport UK National and Licensed Eligibility Scrutineer. His role is to ensure compliance with the Championship Regulations, but also, with Scrutineer colleagues, to ensure that cars compete in as safe a condition as possible. You can expect to see him at most, if not all of the rounds during the season, and between rounds, he can be reached by phone, for advice on matters relating to either safety or eligibility. Bob Marsh, the Championship Coordinator, and Derek work closely to support drivers and to ensure that they can enjoy their racing on a safe, level, playing field
