BMW is preparing a racing version of the Mk2 Mini for a one-make race series to start in 2008. Whilst the Mini Challenge events will continue to use the current model next year, an all-new racing Mini is being developed for sale worldwide for a variety of competitions.

This is hinted at in the current MINI Challenge brochure that were scattered about on the MINI Barge at the British Motorshow.

This will of course be the new challenge car but there is talk of making them available to other markets, which strictly until recently they weren't and then linking those markets together.

The Mk.II JCW Cooper S (or should that be Mk.VIII) will no doubt be based on (or vice versa) the Mk.II JCW Motorsport car.
