Randy Smalley...he owns RSR.

 

The Challenge cars have different programming. Engines are JCW versions with revised turbos, different gearboxes and I think but am not sure there may be revised internals too.

They also came with air jacks I think.

There are very few Challenge cars here in the US and this being a mostly US site we don't see them very often at all. I would recommend that you contact some of the teams running MINI Challenge cars over in Europe.

Please let us know your findings.

 

It's quite possible to mimic the external look tot he MINI Challenge cars though. That's a longer term project of mine, but my MINI will still maintain the same cabin, no rear seat delete or roll cage and while I do track my MINI and Autocross it, I see the car as more of a daily driving showpiece.

 

I believe Randy Smalley at RSR racing has a Challenge car (at least he did) if you want to look at one.

 

Have a few pics taken a couple of years ago at Roebling Road Raceway of one that I can forward to the OP.

Air Jacks, the video says it all...
