Looks like it sprouted spots halfway through the race!

MichaelK · Jun 2nd, 2003, 10:58 PM

Guessing they went on during a pitstop before the night section.

Check out that rear wing

Cheers

There was a write up about this in AutoExpress no too long ago. Its a lightened MCS Works, which is reported to be 3 seconds a lap faster around Brands Hatch, than the Clio Cup cars. Will try and find the mag and scan it.

Or maybe it is for next years JCC. Can't remember exactly what it said???????

Cheers

Cheers

Looks like they got beaten by another MINI?

Only 3 places up from a Rover Mini too!

And 11 Civics! And 7 Clios! Oh no!

MichaelK · Jun 3rd, 2003, 07:51 PM

and a long way ahead of and RS Focus and another RS Focus

Be interesting to read a race report on JCW site

Cheers

Excellent, I'll go take a look later...

MichaelK · Jun 11th, 2003, 03:57 PM

It seems that had a view minor problems on the during the race

Having to to send mechanics through the forest to the other side of the circuit to repair the rear suspension had collapsed due to a collision!

Also get rearended by a fast car a little later on

Sounds like it was quite an entertaining 24H

Cheers

Had confirmation from JCW today that they were using the Nurburgring 24H as a testing ground for new brake and suspension modifications ... modifications which will be released as additional kits

However, they also said that it will 'take sometime' to come to market

KarmanS · Jun 11th, 2003, 08:53 PM

At the very bottom of that report...

Note: John Cooper Motorsport will announce a full range of proven motorsport products for MINI in the near future which will be launched at the end of 2003.
