Winter inspiration!

I have mixed feelings about the F56 and overall shape and form, this little bit of inspiration on youtube gives me hope.

I would take on in right hand drive, thank you... Please!


Need more posting here on NAM, to get folks thinking MINI!

What I especially enjoyed about watching that is the use of the automatic transmission.

Sequential gearbox, still uses a clutch, but no shift pattern. Super smooth and fast, I think this series will be fun to watch on the various TV races. Fill and hour or two on the weekends.

Appears to make great power and as Rich said, smooth!

If it still uses a clutch why doesn't his leg move? It's especially noticeable in the beginning.

For sure a dog box, I noted a few extra shifts with the clutch, I imagine it is really tight since it is pretty new.

I would love to bang on this one at High Plains, Pueblo or even at PPIR on the short track.
