The one-hour Targa Newfoundland video usually appears in late January. The #3 Comp belongs to the Director of Mini Canada who, while attending the last two days of the event, kept a close watch on the crew while it competed in Grand Touring. I spoke with JF Drolet (drove it as Car #0 (course opening vehicle) until Mini USA went out) and Jason Cahill (navigated in the car while it was in grand Touring). Neither had ever been in a Mini2 before then. Both wer completely blown away by the car. I put a deposit on #62 today without ever having driven one (though I navigate in TSD rallies in one) based solely on the experiences relayed to me by JF, Jason, Jim Kenzie, and Brian.
