MINI Australia are offering the first 6 MINI Cooper S owners who enter the Grand Prix Rally an opportunity to receive an exciting package.

The package includes on road technical support, welcome dinner and Melbourne Motor Show tickets to the first 6 MINI Cooper S owners who meet the selection criteria (don't know what the criteria is).

Entries close Friday February 18th 2005 at 5pm and need to be lodged on the 'Official Entry Form' which can be downloaded on the website www.grandprix.com.au or obtained from Octagon in Melbourne (03 9685 3500 - Chris Bell or Jackie Parry).

I have not seen an entry list yet to know how many MINIs are signed up for the event at this stage.

It's a great event if you want to see if motorsport competition is for you. You do not need to have a roll cage in the car, just helmets and fire extinguishers. If you don't have a navigator Octagon have a list of navigators looking for a ride.

I think the 6 have already been filled...

All mini owners were sent an invite to the event. I'd be in but I cant really budget it this year.

Are you in again?

CooperRoo · Feb 15th, 2005, 11:27 PM

Yeah - I'm there but in an M3 SMG this year. We usual run the three cars but this year only two M3's.

Dutton rally should see us in MINIs again but there is also rumor of 190kw One Series being available then and that car would be a belter for that type of event.

Either way I'm still all MINI in my heart.

I just spoke with Octagon and there are spots left for MINI owners still to get on the MINI Australia program.

Sounds like you are in for a great week CooperRoo...

I might see you Sunday at the GP

Aside from passing a roadworthy check, vehicles will only need a CAMS-approved fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and helmets for the driver and navigator. No roll cages or driving suits are required.

sounds like a great event

Todd! · Feb 18th, 2005, 09:09 AM

I'd budget about $3-5,000 Brett...

Tyres, brakes, service - oil, helmet (if you dont have one already), sponsorship could cover that...

Todd

Baker · Feb 18th, 2005, 11:03 AM

No-one will sponsor me

Todd! · Feb 18th, 2005, 03:21 PM

I would love to go - it starts monday doesnt it!?!

Next year we will see what happens... I think I could organise sponsorship easy... I have a red car - perfect for a big goldern arches on the side...

Well all you need to do now is get off your asre and get the MCMINI plates to go with.

Todd! · Feb 19th, 2005, 12:42 AM

Hehehe - I dont really want to sell out to the corporates!!

My boss and are trying to talk dad into a JCW with all the (performance) bells and whistles...

Suspension, brakes, strut brace, carbon fibre mirror caps - dash maybe...

Black on black. No chili pack (lightweight spec) with black 1/2 leather, graphite 18" OZ Super Turismos... with the MCMINI plates maybe

Aero kit color coded maybe... Big $$ though, so we'll see how the talking in process goes...

-blacky- · Feb 19th, 2005, 09:08 AM

Sounds similar to a car I know

Todd! · Feb 19th, 2005, 09:51 PM
