[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxOLusvX430[/ame] This weekend MINI competed in the Nurburgring 24 Hours and came away two cars running at the end. It was a test and learn race for MINI but they did a little more cracking into the top 50 at one point. However with 24 hours on the most grueling track in the world and a pair of new cars, things didn’t go perfectly. But still there are a lot of reasons to be excited about the result. We’ve pulled together the best of the official footage and the behind the scenes to give you a flavor of the weekend’s activities. It’s also the best look yet at the car and the team. And as we find out at the end of the video, it’s a team that will be competing later this year at Spa Francorchamps.
I don't know how I missed this before but the Coupes had extra lights mounted at night. The 146 had 4 extras: The 147 had just the 2 extra hood-mounted lights:
Didn't look like there was a strut to strut on the scene where he was working in the engine compartment... Cool T-Shirts, tho... Where do we get those?
Anyone understand the revlance of the lion logo with the mane of feathers? Couldn't understand the car graphics connection to MINI??
Hmmm.... Shoulda been a English Bulldog with a mane of feathers.... That I could connect..... Ahhhh I think...
