nice!

MINI ceases works involvement in the WRC

Bad NEWS!! :(

"MINI will terminate its works involvement in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) at the end of the 2012 season. The company has made this decision after careful consideration."

Not surprising though. If Prodrive can get some money I still have (a little) hope...

"The comeback" feels so ironic now. Its not worthy!

eee.. mm.. what is different now? Prodrive still builds new parts, BMW develops engine.. What was MINI works involvement?

I would guess Prodrive might turn their attention to the S2000 / RRC version in ERC now? If they can raise the cash to pay Eurosport for the registration fee?
