What autocross class is a MINI Cooper Hardtop (incl. S, non-JCW, F55/F56)?
HSStreetBSTStreet Touring
A stock 2014–2024 MINI Cooper Hardtop (incl. S, non-JCW, F55/F56) runs in HS (Street) under the 2026 SCCA Solo Rules. Built to Street Touring allowances (within BST tire and wheel limits), it runs BST.
Class by preparation level

A “—” means the car isn’t listed at that level; a build lands in the least-prepared category its modifications allow.
