Awsome Video

I found this video and had to share it. (Sorry if it has already been posted.) It is one of the first years of the JCW challenge, and it is amazing.

Interesting video and good music, but I hated to see those cute little cars get messed up!

Great video...

Gives you a pretty good feel of how the car will handle at the limit, how tossable the Mini is, and even how resilient it might be in an accident. Reminds me of a demolition derby.

Outstanding video. Did anyone notice the MC strut bar on the blue Mini in the beginning of the video? Obviously there is at least one out there!!!

Awesome video. Did only 6 cars manage to finish? Anyone know or have a link for how the drivers are picked for the JCW challenge?

I enjoyed watching it, after turning off the "music."
If you have to pass.. spin the guy blocking you!

Did these guys plan on wrecking? The driving conditions and "crowdedness" seems like a very dangerous combination. Was this like a "last man standing" race? lol

I'm amazed at how close they were driving in the beginning next to each other.

Some ugly wrecks there and boy those folks drive pretty roughly! You won't catch me putting my MINI in a situation like that. I'll watch it all day though.

East, the link indeed does work, however the video will not play, so I was wondering if I could download it.
