    MINI’s pedigree in racing is rooted in its underdog status. It’s the unlikely little car taking on racers with twice, even three times the horsepower. Recently driver Gary Webb and co-driver Marc Goldfarb drove a MINI Clubman to not just take the 2WD class, but to take overall victory away from the venerable Subaru in the 2012 Alcan Winter Rally. Satch Carlson, of the BMW Sports Car Club of America tells the story:

    A huge congrats to Webb and Goldfarb for turning in a great performance and doing we MINI fans proud.
