Mini with Red Bull sponsorship??? Very interesting
Any other proper source than brittish Autosport?
MINI has some upgrades for Begetta Memorial... Meeke won every race against Solberg and Latvala to win outright. Looks good for 2012.
Loooool....
'upgrades', or 'non-homologated prototype parts'?Quote:

Same rules for everyoneQuote:

Your obviously not a driver. That's what they do.. Drive. So Ogier won ROC and Meeke the Bettega, because the others didn't take it seriously and they were only there because the sponsors told them? OK.
Bettega memorial is really cool to see. I was there 2001 and it was great.
Wildsir, seriously. If there are indications that MINI or Meeke will improve their attack for 2012 (which they should because that's natural), please don't drew them from rallyshow results. Sure when a professional driver puts on a helmet it's about being the fastest in the finish, but still rallyshows don't qualify for drewing any conclusions how fast a driver or a car is in proper rallies. In the proper stages it's all different, and I guess you know that too.
LOL...more please.Quote:

It's a bit like a after tour criterium it's all about the fans and money.. Even there the winner has already been selected before the start has been given.
I said, you obviously not a driver, or of a competitive nature, you prefer to run you life from you computer screen.Quote:

please i want an in deapth analysis of the RoC as well... need to short out my favourites for next year.
Heikki Kovalainen is the best rally driver in the whole world because he beat Loeb in 2004 ROC. :D
Bloody hell that´s true. Forget others.....here comes (world fastest) maailmannopein Heikki.Quote:

Swedish STCC (Touring car) Champion Richard Göransson is rumoured to drive a Mini WRC in Rally Sweden
In 2011 Richard drove a Mitsu EVO X in Rally Sweden and finished second in PWRC.
Swedish magazine Teknikens Värld is reporting about a second Mini with a Swedish driver, mentioning PG "since he has been driving the Mini before". I wouldn't trust that source heheQuote:

I don’t recall seeing this interview on the forum before.
“So far 20 cars have been built, of which 15 have been sold, the others used by the team. The first right hand drive car is currently being built.”
Dave Wilcock, Technical Review of Mini WRC in 2011
Whaaat! Not looking so good...
But I think the deadline has been moved to December 22nd...
"Mini has missed the deadline to sign up for next year's World Rally Championship, which closed last night."
lets hope they give them a bit more time
Hello there, Everbody!
On rallyonline.pl has been said that "On thursday, shortly before deadline of manufacturer registration, there'll be a meeting at Mini where the future of the team will be discussed." So this imply that maybe deadline has been moved to December 22nd.

I'm sure the FIA are not going to refuse them entry if they come late.
What a waste of money if not! :mad:
Problems with Prodrive? :arrow: MINI (noch) nicht für WRC-Saison 2012 eingeschrieben | Automobil | MOTORSPORT aktuell
There is enough time for panic. Let's wait and see when FIA publishes the list of entries ;)
Surley the could enter the cars in evrery rally and still compete for the drivers championship if the worse comes to the worst and they cannot enter as an official team.
I don't really understand what's with all this uncertainty over the Mini WRC project, it feels like BMW is saying something and doing totally different.
My thoughts exactly!Quote:
