Very cool video.....All the Coopers look stock so I guess thats the challenge part. Looks like a demolition derby race at times.

Very Cool. A lot of "bumping and grinding" out there on the track.

You don't get much more contact in a WWE cage match. That's tough to watch if you love your MINI.

My Mom has a MINI as well and I almost have her convinced to try a high speed driving school. I don't think I'll show her this video for fear she'll freak and bail out thinking THAT is what could happen to her baby.

Excellent vid.

Jim

and watch the drifting video...evidently it is quite the craze in Japan...needs rear wheel drive though...

although, like I stated before check out the MINI drifting in the rain at about 5:14...yeehaaa!

That is one of the best videos I have yet to see of a group of coopers in action! Makes me want to go drive my car (without the bumping and hitting part of course) thanks for posting!

cheers, jason

I've got Windows Media Player, but all I'm getting is the soundtrack. Another Mac user who's left out of the fun Any chance of this in a QuickTime or RealPlayer format somewhere? Same w/ the Drift Challenge?

Next time anybody wonders why it takes so long to get replacement parts for their damaged Mini, I'd say it's rather obvious where all the parts are getting sent. :smile:

Many thanks! The best Mini video yet. I think the moral here is if you want to race
'em, you better have the cash to fix 'em.

Question?....Is cutting across the infield legal? Man what a fun video to watch. Kinda hard watching all the cars getting all smashed up, but hey that's what racing is all about.

Thanks for the great post! :smile:
