great vid!!! - get out the way yellow Porsches

 

I passed a GT3 on the track once. It felt very good. Although the driver was a 19-year old who had just gotten the car as a gift and was still terrified of it.

 

HAHA! I love little victories like that.

 

awesome! great vid =)

 

I doubt the 19 year old kid driving his new GT3 was very dissapointed about being passed. What a life.

 

Wow that is one powerful R53 It says it's a GP, but that is not "regular" GP I have been in a 350+WHP R53 and it was quite exhilarating

 

Looks like that GT3 was just held up with all that traffic.

 

And the GT3 was driving less aggressively. I love our cars, but no mini, no matter what you do to it will compete with a car like the GT3...

 

One thing is for sure, the mini driver will be buying a new set of tires after his run. You can hear them screaming around every turn!

 

got lucky this time..

 

I can only dream that I will one day be fortunate enough to drive that track, until then I will just drive my Mini around it in Forza Motorsport 3...

 

nice video, thanks for sharing --- tons of traffic there

 

I agree. If we saw the view from inside the GT 3, he was driving a much smoother line.
I like the way he was blocking the GP a coulple times before he LET him pass.

 

Let him pass? Why would anybody driving a Porsche LET a Mini pass? Because he was up his **** and was scared I agree, that a GT3 in the right hands no Mini would have a chance, but with some of these Minis now having better hp/lb. ratio than even some of these GT3's, it would still be a good fight. P.S. a Mini just recorded a dyno of 320whp tuned by Mynes over in the UK, with more to come

 

Well what I saw was that MINI driver was up on it pretty good. Without knowing how many horses he had it tough to make a real judgement call, but it sure looked like a lot of fun.

 

Don't know the circumstances but if this was just an open track day at the Ring, this is a pretty good demonstration of the kind of aggressive, close-quarter driving that has no business being done when you're on the track with unqualifed total strangers. The Porsche guys were so much slower, they should have signaled and let the Mini by (as most do on the Ring). And the Mini had no business stuffing it up the inside the way he did in the passes. Do that five or ten times and you're almost certain to be into the guardrails and at the Nurburgring speeds, that's dangerous as hell.

That's not a stock MCS - not even close. Looked (and sounded) like 250+, at least.

Wow you are good if you can tell the HP of a car by its "Sound"

 

I was thinking way more than that

 

What surprised me the most is that neither the driver nor the passenger are wearing helmets. That's insane!!

 

Notice the rollbar? Might be a track prepped mini.

 

I was told the engine was stock plus an ITG filter, it just had a KW Sport suspension and 17's With Nice sticky rubber

 

I've done the Ring a few times and have a pretty good idea what a 170-hp car feels like on that track. I can guarantee you that this MCS was not stock. And it certainly doesn't have a stock exhaust.

The car is a GP it has 218 HP if you look on you tube and look at a couple of his other movies he actually tells you about the car.

 

That mini has no chance if Gt3 driver is hammering his ride. No way - no how.
Gt3 driver given an instruction to take it easy for the little guy.
