What happen to the good old days?

What happen to the good old days when mini's were great race cars. Wining rally's and such? The new r56 would be great for this with its wide stance and light weight cassis. im sure if you stripped all unnecessary weight from the vehicle, had awd, and 300 hp. this car would destroy the cars out there now. It would be great if bmw decided to get back in to rallying, im confident they would win. What do you guys think?
