    Looks like a great way to break both the car and the track....

    Still fun as hell though.

    Someone should push an F56 down that run and leave it at the bottom. :lol:

    Slower than a bobsled. Would've been more interesting going uphill.

    Brings back fond memories of Kris Meeke / James May in the MINI WRC Countryman versus Olympic Gold Medalist Amy Williams at Lilehammer...back when Top Gear was still relevant and MINI actually dabbled in WRC sponsorship...

    Dave, I believe that the F56 is more well suited for ski jumping!

    Perhaps even more well suited for ski jumping in "Agony of Defeat" style?
