Autosport is reporting that MINI has apparently missed last night’s filing deadline to compete in the 2012 season of the World Rally Championship. While there are rumored, low-intensity tensions between Prodrive and MINI corporate at present, sources say this missing of the filing deadline is not an intentional end of MINI rally racing, but...

Tis the season and you’ve parked in a sea of SUVs at the local mall. Trying to find your MINI can be a daunting task! Unless you were at a mall in Canada where MINI Canada attached giant balloons on MINIs.

[Via: MINI Motorsports] Nine victories at the Rally Dakar are on Stéphane Peterhansel’s impressive score card for the most challenging rally in the world. As ambitious as the 45 year old Frenchman is while in action, privately he is a laid-back, sometimes even shy person in his hometown Montana, Switzerland.

+1 к Comdir про "без обид" Уже было 3 МЮ и 3 Минска. Всё уже прошли. Иногда были приятные сюрпризы от тех, кто в первый раз ехал в колонне, а иногда, и не раз, очень не приятные. Это очень здравая идея!

Уже давно суетимся, так как предварительная инфа прошла неделю назад.

The cars of MINI’s John Cooper Works sub-brand are often described as halo models. They are intended to be each MINI in its purest, most sporting form. While perhaps not as aggressively separate as BMW’s M division, the JCW cars have always been a good balance of power and performance without sacrificing reliability. For those [...]<br/><br/>(visit MotoringFile for the full article)</img><br/></img> </img> </img> </img> </img> Читать дальше
