I think you'd be down for the 24Hr of LeMons even more so.

Love the MINI!

I could watch mini racing all day long. Go-Karts for grown-ups!

lol suprisingly good racing. thats got to be harder than go carts. the low HP to weight has got to make corner speeds CRITICAL. one tiny mistake or over braking and youll loose so much momentum and cant get it back (lack of HP) that youd loose like 10+ position in one corner/mistake.

good watch.

Here's another one. The racing isn't quite as dicey as the MK1's are but these look burley and they squeeze over 120bhp out of a 1300 engine with a 5 port head. 8-)

Gay.
























The slowest cars on Gran Turismo were always my favorite to race with cause they were the toughest.

At least the SCCA knows how to do a Mini.







For instance...

Yea, and they'll let anything race





Gotta love that they actually let it run in the race......and yes, the XJ finished it too!

Those MK1s are awesome! There's nothing like a spec class. A former BTCC driver, that was a surprise!

I've missed British commentary
