    Glad to hear it. I am rooting for some MINI win love. Plus, it's cool that they use legit homologation JCWs and mechanics from local shops on rotation.

    I hear the JCW team is not well liked by the IMSA staff crew for rambunctious behaviour on and off the track.

    I would hope they do well. With the lack of cars participating in the ST class this season (or moving up to TCR class), the team has had at least a 50% chance of winning and almost 100% chance of getting on the podium[emoji12]

    They started running closer to the front last season with some wins as I recall. They did get some help from IMSA, a larger restrictor or some such.

    I think it's a shame that the TCR class will kill of ST. So far the racing in TCR class is quite boring.

    Since they have the 4-door MINI I'm confused why they didn't go for the TCR class. I can only think that they are holding off to further develop the platform.
