The [[Mini Marcos]] is also a very successful car on the race track. It made its debut at a rain soaked Castle Combe race track on 25 September 1965. Driven by Geoff Mabbs, it lapped all but one car to win the BRSCC race by 81 seconds at an average of 76&nbsp;mph.

In 1966 a French Mini Marcos, with Marcos support,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/sport/lm66bd/index.html|title = Le Mans Mini Marcos 1966}}</ref> was the only British car to complete the Le Mans 24-hour race. For the 1967 Le Mans, Marcos entered their own Mini-Marcos (drivers were Marsh and Chris Lawrence). The car was clocked at 141&nbsp;mph on the [[Mulsanne Straight]] in the April test, but failed to finish the race because of an oil pump failure. The same car was more successful in the Kyalami 9-hour race in Nov 1967, when Marsh and [[Brian Raubenheimer]] finished 15th, it appeared again in the 1968 race but did not finish.

Mini Marcos cars were raced widely,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/sport/records.html|title = Mini Marcos International Racing Records}}</ref> especially as a budget endurance race car, but also in local championships in many countries including Modsports in the UK. Mini-Marcos was also the chosen car for the "First Ladies International Race Team" (FLIRT), which competed at events such as the Nurburgring 1000&nbsp;km race in May 1967, where they retired, the Grand Premio del Mugello in July 1967, coming 37th, and the Nürburgring 500&nbsp;km race in September 1967 where two cars were fielded with Jackie Bond-Smith coming in 21st and 4th in class, and Joey Cook retiring.
