MINI Cooper GP p0wned by RC Car

Sad but funny as hell

Description:

A really small rc car beats a supercharged mini cooper on a short track even with taking a pit stop half way through the race.

Well, it seems the RC car gets pwned as well.

Nyah, then she wouldn't have done those handbrake turns because the R56 e-brake has that annoying little "bongbongbong" when the e-brake is pulled at speed!

On second thought, maybe that's what she needed as a reminder that an e-brake is for parking (and showing off), not for generating speed around a race course...

BTW, has anyone compared a GP to an R56 in terms of speed?

Isn't this pretty old stuff? I mean, I remember watching this episode of Fifth Gear one or two seasons ago.

uhh.. Wasn't the RC 1 lap behind from the pitstop? Either way it was amusing.

"Pwned" was such a common misspelling of "owned" (as in "defeated") that it's become its own word, with variations as well, i.e. "Powned").

This really makes me want to get my R/C cars racing again, but for the amount of money it would take to get back into it I could buy my Mini a real nice set of wheels or even coilovers
