Just in case anyone missed it, page 17 of Autocar this week has a little bit on a tuned JCW car. It rides lower suspension and is apparently 3.5 seconds quicker around the Nurburgring than the Clio Cup car.

Also to the left of the article is a piece on the Mini Open.

Finally turn to page 24 if you want reasons not to by a One

Cheers.

I do not have quick access to the AUTOCAR mag, what bad was said about the JCW S?

John Cooper Garages had tweaked one of their JCW S cars. Basically the put lower suspension on it and from the picture it does look very low. The car is painted all in white with a white side skirts also.

Mike Cooper was quoted saying that it was flying around the Nurburgring, and lapping about 3.5 seconds faster than the Clio Cup car.

I don't have the magazine in front of me, but I think they were testing the car for the 24hr Le Man race!
