I am not trying to diminish prodive, BMW or anyone involved in the project....the thing is i see 3 things that they have failure written all over them
1. The mini crossover is the wrong car to go with...the mini itself would be a better choice
2. I see only rumours so far for an involvement in the 2011...thats 7 months from now....no testing not even a plan (long or short term)
3. BMW a car collosus are tipped to use one of their sub manufacturers for their involvment... we know how thats usually ends from previous examples.
and for those who are going to argue with the old "So NOT you know far better than BMW and prodrive when it comes to rallying" the answer is.... yes i do.

Prehaps the smaller Mini would be too small for S2000 regulations?

3) With BMW backing it must be just what is needed to go rallying.
When it comes to rallying there are many more experts than you can imagine..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

I must agree with NOT about the crossover. Not only it is ugly, it doesn't have much Mini anymore.

Isn´t that what we all discussed a while ago?"Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"
