After lookin closer i come to the conclusion that it has to be something to do with the fuel system, maybe a filter and a pressure valve or something or than it is somethin completely different...
could be the power steering acummilator there was one on the subarus that you filled with 1 bar of compressed air for the power steering as they did not have a power steering resivourQuote:

Prodrive has confirmed that Kris Meeke and Dani Sordo will drive the Mini WRC on its competitive asphalt debut on the Richard Burns Memorial Rally in August.
I saw Vaclav Pech was testing the Grifone Mini. Is he about to switch???
I think it's likely for next year. Maybe he will test it also in some rally - possibly Rally Krkonose in two weeks. But that's just my guessing, I have no info about that.
ThxQuote:

Good for him.
How many Minis are sold to date of the two different categories ? Must be a few, feel I see them "everywhere" these days !
In July 2009 MINI announced that 1.5 million Mini's had rolled off the production line at BMW Group Plant Oxford, this was only 2 years after the 1.0 million milestone was achieved... so at that rate we should see the 2.0 million cars (all types) produced soon.Quote:

So the S2000 Grifone and the WRC that Fontana drove is not the same car ?
Kris Meeke and MINI WRC Team will start in the auto24 Rally Estonia

No, Fontana drove the WRC in Rally della Marca and Marco Cavalieri drove the S2000 in Rally Montecatini Terme, both rallyes were in last weekend.Quote:

What about the Dakkar MINI..?
Ketomaa to drive the MINI WRC.
Suomalaiskuski Minin WRC-auton rattiin - MTV3.fi - Urheilu - Ralli - Uutiset
He has tested the car and had a positive feeling. The program is planned to start from Finland. It's most likely to be a private team but Prodrive has promised full technical support.
Great for Ketomaa!
Yes! Very happy with that!
A program for this and also next season. Sounds great. The Minis are popping up here and there.
very nice decision...finally we will see where he stands in comparison with some real rally drivers...hope he does more events than finland.
this is also an indication that BMW might be somewhat serious about their project....which is goodQuote:

It’s a new car and with a new car you don’t have all the spares to test, everything is new and a lot of things happen during the races. It’s difficult and harder than I thought it would be after two very good seasons. From my side it’s difficult to change anything.”
Can anyone make out what size those rims & tyres are?
