#13562 2014 Base Mini Classing Needs to Be Changed from HS(R) to GS(R)

The SAC wishes to separately class the new 2014 base Mini in GS, however at this time it is covered by the recently- updated listing in HS. Effective upon publication, change the year as shown in the existing HS and HSR listings:

MINI

Cooper (non-S, non-JCW) (2002-13)

and then add the following to GS.

MINI

Cooper (non-S, non-JCW) (2014)

That's where I thought it belonged, it'll get on well with the Focus and Fiesta STs out there. On a selfish level it does mean the current Cooper classing is not disturbed (given we just bought a 2013) and the F56 is not overpowering those of us with R56.

Great news. I suspect the F56 will go to STC along with other small turbo cars like the Audi TT and GTI. I would love to see someone do one up for STC
