New Mini's first Rally Adventure

[miniman]

Anyone else catch this on Men & Motors yesterday? Quite an interesting piece, although the production and narration quality was a bit shoddy, but what should I expect from M&M really?

The prep work was all done by Mini Sport with a fair bit of custom construction, particularly around the front suspension area. Also quite a funny clip where the rally driver was talking to camera and the Mini was in the background, and just started up and reversed along the track because it was left in gear and the solenoid shorted...

I've got it stored on Sky+ if anyone wants a copy.

Saw a repeat of this last night.

Car looked good. Maybe I missed it but did they say where it came in the rally?

Development costs must've been huge. Be interesting to see what aftermarket stuff appears as a result.
