Perfect match-up with Group 4 and RMW. So, what aero bits were you/Ian testing?

So Jan, you're saying that functional aero bits for the MINI are in development? This is great news.

What kind of numbers are you going to provide to show that the parts really work (not doubting, just asking)?

Congrats on breaking the record! I loved how the driver was right on the butt of that Vette.

When are you taking orders for that "intake sock"? That sock must emit some gasses with pretty high combustibility.

Joining RMW and Ian in this adventure is amazing . Being able to put RMW's power to the ground along with Ian's driving ability really did the job . BTW the aero package Wayne put on is our street version .

While hanging out with the guys of Group 4 at the Dragon, I got to see all of their aero stuff close up, learn of it's development, and hear the race history of the members. I wondered in my head what a highly worked on MINI could really do with all of this stuff. Quite a bit it would seem. If I lived somewhere with twisties I'd be all over their stuff, my time in the Fontana region made that clear.

from what I have seen its true
how does 10 more mph through turn 1 grab you?

The M62 is NOT a wise selection for an 'upgrade'.

Why is it not a "wise" upgrade? More boost, lower rotor speed, less heat, almost dimensionally exact cases... If water pump is electric and blower properly fitted and pullied, please explain your stance.

I was at the Dragon, too. The G4 stuff looked really cool. Was one really smooth looking MINI they had on display.

this blower takes 20hp less to turn than M62 at same boost level ie: 13psi and 120deg cooler inlet temp. Electric waterpump produced 176deg F temps on a 100deg day with track temps @ 120-130 .......did I mention stock radiator?

it's sweet isn't it?
the R56s look like it came from the factory as it's easy with the exhaust system
