The Perth round was awesome!

Qualifying was was done in the wet (bucketing down!) and the MINIs' were still flying!

The race report does not really convey how brilliant the racing was in race 1. With the variable conditions it was like watching a drift battle at times! Ben Tune's rollover was nasty and the car was damaged on almost every panel and both rear side glass windows were destroyed. David Turner's tangle with Leanne Tander didn't need to happen but the Red Mist does prevail at times.

Most spectators that were there for the V8 utes and Supercars were blown away to find out that the MINI's are quicker than the utes around the circuit and the comment was heard more than once that the racing from the MINI drivers was some of the best seen all weekend.

This has got to be one of the best forms of racing seen on Australian soil in a very long time!
