Well, the engine was supposed to be BMW-based in the beginning...

It's a engine produced by BMW.

Average Joe will always see it as Mini/Bmw fail, not Prodrive's, that's something Bmw should think about, at the end WRC budget for Mini is not the biggest one, comparing with other sponsorsip deals/motorsport projects they make.

Why are they playing around so much; the car is solid shouldn't that be enough for the money men. I don't understand what the problem has always been with the Mini team.

Мini team - Мaxi dream!

growing pains..

What is the closing date for the IRC ?

that would be nice: prodrive with mini in irc :D ...instead of doing nothing. would they be allowed to compete with their 1.6t s2000? in that case the miracle of skoda one brand trophy in 2012 irc season should be history.

Get back on Earth ;)
