This time tomorrow, yours truly will be in Italy attending the International Media Launch of the MINI Cooper S with John Cooper Works GP Tuning Kit.

The main focus of the launch will the chance to spend a few hours putting the new limited edition MINI through it's paces on the Adria International Raceway, Bologna.

The track is a great layout for a MINI drive, you can take a "virtual drive" at their website, here: http://www.adriaraceway.com/menu2/tracks.htm

I'll be flying out very eartly tomorrow morning (21st June) and, depending on transport delays, should be back in front of the PC to post my report by lunchtime Thursday 22nd.

With any luck, providing they open the blinds, you may be able to see the fun via their live webcam, here: http://80.206.235.242/ (But don't hold out much hope of the blinds opening). Track time will be between around 14:30 and 18:30 pm, local time.

Sounds great - have a blast.

As this is the press launch, would be good if anyone can confirm any impact on the customer launch (i.e. delivery dates!). I was always confused as the the press release for the London MotorShow, if presenting/debuting 0001 meant that was the first one going out to a customer (museum), or it meant first time the production ready 0001 was on show.
