MINI United 2012: French connection for fourth edition of MINI festival.
16.12.2011
Munich/Le Castellet. MINI United time is here again!  The international community growing up around the British small car  brand is set to come together for the fourth running of a very special  open-air festival; MINI has announced the date and venue for what is  sure to be a spectacular event. MINI aficionados and music fans alike  should set aside the weekend of 11 – 13 May 2012 in their  diaries and programme the destination Le Castellet – or, more  precisely, the Circuit Paul Ricard – in France into their  sat-navs. Lying in wait for the MINI United 2012 crowd at the circuit,  which played host to Formula One races over several decades, will be a  top-class line-up featuring live music acts, motor sport, lifestyle  action and MINI Community activities.
Some 25,000 fans from more than 40 nations flocked to  Silverstone in England for the MINI United festival in 2009 to  celebrate not only the third Community catch-up but also the 50th  anniversary of the brand’s founding. However, the Circuit Paul  Ricard in Le Castellet offers enough space for even the Silverstone  masses to be exceeded in number. Indeed, the event programme is richer  in depth and variety than ever before. Live appearances by leading  lights of the international music and DJ scene, fun sporting  activities, stunt shows and driving experiences on the track,  exhibitions of accessories, current MINI and Classic Mini cars on  display, and the exclusive presentation of a new MINI model ensure an  attractive blend of al fresco party, shared experience and MINI action  in every shape and form.
An extensive entertainment programme for younger MINI fans is  guaranteed, as are a broad spread of culinary treats laid on by  various restaurants, bars and catering stations. Other essential  features of a MINI United festival are the MINI Club Area and Beauty  Parking, which serves as both a car park and stage for the more  strikingly styled members of the MINI fleet. Indeed, for the majority  of the fans at the fourth MINI United festival, driving to the venue  in their own MINI will be the perfect way of getting into the mood for  a weekend among the MINI Community.
Further information on MINI United 2012 is now available at  www.MINIspace.com/MINIunited. Regular updates on the  event programme, motor sport line-up and MINI Community will also be  posted on the site, as well as tips and links on the event location,  registration, ticket bookings and accommodation reservations in the  area around the venue.
