Nice to see the MINI rally car being driven well.

Punctures can happen to anyone. As far as the engine woes go even though the cars have tested a lot you just can't tell how they'll be until they are in the heat of competition. Lets hope the WRC car has a better debut.

 

I think shows the WRC car has the ability to be in the hunt and not just another pretty face.

i wonder what the engine problem was

 

Pretty face?

I wasn't going to say this, but since you've asked. :idea:

Probably the timing chain fell out or a tensioner backed out. :crazy: Just kiddin... :ihih:

More likely something else, any rally car engine is put through some hellish conditions. Could have been as simple as an electrical gremlin or as complex as a rod flying out of the block.

 

Nice video.....

 

WOW!!!!

 

Very nice, that was one fast stage!
