Mini 7 Racing Club - Easter Monday
First up I have to mention the Mini 7 Racing Club's opener at Castle Combe on Easter Monday where we will be heading to. Situated in beautiful rural Wiltshire, just off the M4, it's easy to get to and a great day out with what is sure to be bumper-to-bumper action in what is the Mini 7 Club's 50th year! There's all sorts going on, and you can get entry for just a tenner! See you there! http://www.love-mini.co.uk/events-1/uk-europe
Horsham Piazza Italia with the Italian Job
- 25-28 March
One little event we wish we could make it down to is the Piazza Italia in Horsham, W.Sussex where the Italian Job team will be to help raise awareness and funds for the charity. There's bound to be some top food and cars on display, as well as the bonus of being on the south coast. https://www.facebook.com/events/1027389027322926/

Rallycross - March 27
However, nothing beats the smell of fuel in the air and high revving engines, so you'll be pleased to know there is plenty more action to be found. Mini Rallycross returns, and this exciting, close-contact motorsport has seen a huge rise in popularity in recent years. Why not head to Lydden Hill on Sunday to see what it's all about.

BMW introduces autonomous robots for logisitics supply
Plant Wackersdorf supplies the BMW Group’s international assembly and production sites with car parts. In the hall of Supply Logistics, a self-driving robot maneuvers itself underneath a roller container with parts. Silently and with flashing lights, it picks up the container and begins to move through the logistics hall. The system is complicated and extensive; nobody can find their way around without a good sense of direction. But this is no problem for the transport robot, which is about the size of a suitcase.
