Thanks!
It's is overall 6 kgs lighter, we hope that in 2 weeks a shakedown of the GP3 is possible
Our Resto-Mod will receive these parts of the GP3 field Kit as well.

I think we will do some interesting parts, and for those which like to share production runs, like a 3 kg frontscreen,
can contact me via PM

We have to choose the right tyre now for our new suspension, and we like to do that with the original wheels. Maybe we use a Hankook ;-)

But than only the soft compound C7 . I presume the 7.56 was driven on that. (Hard c3/ Medium c5/ Soft c7) Normal customer only gets c3.

PS why we talking the front suspension, goes on external reservoirs to avoid freak offsets. Timing this with a respective person, will show if the "Sport Auto Test" verdict "Street Suspension & Setup " is true. With the fitted 235/40/18 an tweaked LSO, we might see some improvement.

Free look at the cool pack of a GP3 with factory A/C delete. This 40 kg you safe plus minus 2500 Euro cheaper buy, is deeply appreciated and shows that MINI still has racing genes.

The GP3 intercooler with its 13 tubes is that what I told your 4 year before excellent ! Before we change the cooling system we use that as handicap for time attack. The placing of the hot water pipes over the intercooler with over 100 degrees is not a good idea.
