What was the matter with all of the Porsche's that it looked like you were passing

 

Looks fun! Was that your first tune or were you running any other canned tune before RMW tuned it?

 

That's what they were thinking. Way to represent!

 

That's a fun track! I did my first track event in 2006 there. Good job with the Porsche's, I'm sure you had some questions from other drivers in the paddock area after a heat.

 

My first tune. The biggest difference was the torque. Which worked very well on a track with 20 turns. I should also note that car has Helix IC, K2 coil overs, and a bunch of other suspension parts that allowed me to run a good amount of negative camber front and back.

 

I forgot. Car has a Quaife LSD as well. Next time I will run Hoosiers as well, like all the other cars.

 

LOL! Honestly, I have driven my Porsche track car here as well. The Mini is just so much easier to drive fast/at the limit. Bottom line, I had much more fun in this car then any other car I have tracked. Lets say,there were a few that were some what surprised by how quick car was around the track.

 

Thanks. Yes fun track. Gets you tired by end of day.

 

Did you have to remove the ECU to get the tune?

 

Nice video, thanks for posting.

Yes, I'm guessing several surprised Porsche owners with conversation afterwards!

Looks like an absolute blast, very fun day!

 

Your a very good driver. Nice lines through the corners. Made the other drivers look like they are driving stock Honda Civics instead of Porches.

 

I handed the car over to Eric at Helix and he worked with Jan to tune car on their dyno..

 

Thanks for the very nice compliment.

 

Yeah, that's the great thing about the MINI, easy to drive fast at the limit, and incredibly rewarding for a supposed "wrong wheel drive car". I keep coming back to it, time and time again.

 

That was a fantastic drive! Thanks for posting the video. Great car control.

 

Gotta love summit... Except car sruin it for us bikers! Nice run!

 

That looks like about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on! If I had one of the Porsches - I would have taken it to the dealer service complaining that it is "broke"... or may I would have just silently sold it on Ebay before visiting the Mini dealer!

Good driving - I have to do that soon!
