Fireballed Debacle on "Tuner Challenge"

What a lack luster let down.After watching for months on Speed Channel's Street Tuner Challenge",the show culminated with a track day and dyno that was to say at least a yawner.The modded r56 sputtered around the track because it seemed MINI USA failed to lend some tech support to fireball tim.Supposedly,the ecu was the prob?What a missed chance to seduce young potential MINI buyers with an example of a Mini that could impress around the track.
Anyone else see it??
-actually I guess this is a 2nd gen problem,so should be posted there -oops!
