Looking at the option of racing a Mini Cooper S with next years performance upgrade. But just want to find out if anyone has had any challenges or problems once they started racing. If we go with the Mini it will mainly be as a Production car with minor mods like exhaust, suspension, slicks.

We are continually working on refining parts and pieces for the MCS. Suspension is a big part of it. We have had issues with suspension and coil overs all fitting under the front end, but have those now solved. Exhaust is easy. Rear arms also need some looking at if you are going to race the car.

Best Regards
Ray Hampton
