Sorry if there's already a thread on this matter but it came to my attention that Autsport Portugal issued the news today (exclusive they say) that the Mini project is a done deal. Link is in portuguese only (unfortunately) and it quotes David Richards, present at the 24h Nurburgring Race, talking about how the project will evolve. Seems to be a reliable piece of news but one never knows.
