JCW is victorious!

I'm excited, so I need to share this with all my JCW brothers. I went to my first Autocross event with my JCW today and had the fastest B-stock time by almost a full 2 seconds!! I heard lots of 06 JCW owners complain that the Mini couldn't win in B stock... but apparently the new ones can!!

I have to say sorry to a short list of cars that thought they had B-stock won:
RX8's
350Z's
370Z's
Z3M's

I'm not saying one win will mean I'll take the division. But it shows that the Mini is finally fully ready to compete!!

Not 100% sure what you are getting at...

It's the place where they train the police officers on how to drive their cars at full out speed.

Ah, so you were at the Location where they train the police officers. The course a police officer goes through is called EVOC. I was curious if they were training civilians in that, but it appears you were just at the location where that happens Hope you had a great time mate!

Good Going

I also have a 2009 Factory JCW and I really like the power and torque of the car. The suspension is excellent.( Sport Suspension ). I still have the Dunlop Runflat tires and they are really not that bad.
I'm sure you are a very good driver to run faster then some of the best cars out there. "B-stock" is a tough class.
