Fantastic pics Paul, posted the same question on the other thread.... but does anyone know what the wheels are on the challenge car?

James.

Paul · Sep 11th, 2007, 08:20 PM

Answered elsewhere, but 7.5 x 17" Borbet wheels.

Rakey · Sep 11th, 2007, 09:07 PM

Did you find out why the Challenge car isn't road legal? As that looks like a nice bit of kit

Michael · Sep 11th, 2007, 11:43 PM

Mmmmm, gotta love that Challenge car!
Guess i can settle for the JCW road car though.

Anyone else notice on the JCW that the plastic coating is still on footrest? My car was delivered like that too. I have seen quite a few cars with the plastic still on.
I quite like the Brown, would want it myself but i do like it!

Gawd that looks awesome

Great pics

Paul,
Any way to download and save the photos of the JCW Challenge car ? Thanks

Paul · Sep 12th, 2007, 08:50 AM

Via Flickr you can, if you click on the "Photo Link" text it will take you to Flickr and you can download several images, up to HUGE size (too big to clog up the MINI2 server with, so I'll use there storage space, thanks very much!).

Wierd considering the current challenge cars are road legal.

Although checking the results for this year i noted some challenge car runners didn't even race once! Did they buy a challenge car just to have one as a road car for the wow factor on the road! :shock: :lol:

great pics

DHA · Sep 12th, 2007, 05:56 PM

Some great pics there

did you get any info on a factory works car at all?

Paul · Sep 12th, 2007, 06:03 PM

They're saying nothing of a factory works, other than the already confirmed factory challenge car.

DHA · Sep 12th, 2007, 06:34 PM

ok thanks

will wait and see what I get delivered next September

Paul

Do you know if the rear wing and rear diffuser from the Challenge Car will be made available to purchase?

Great set of photos!

Thanks

PmP · Sep 13th, 2007, 06:34 PM

Would love the bodykit off the challenge car, subtle differneces make a huge difference. Height of that rear wing is a bit crazy.

Suspension looks rather high for a non road legal race car???

Whats its power output going to be? Assume the factory works car next summer will be based on this.

J1JPE · Sep 16th, 2007, 12:20 PM

sorry if already answered, what are the 2 black ovals on the rear hatch for ?
