Rally Mini

I kown this should be motorsport section but it should be be open for general discussion. Maybe this has been covered before !?

After seeing a local Norn Iron boy in a local rally, Ulster Rally, being second overall for 2 days in a Citroen C2 supersport WRC 1600 series with 220BHP being a head of WRC Subs and Evos.

I think Mini should build a Motosport Mini to compete against C2s and suzukis in the Supersport round. I think it would fitting to continue in the history of Minis in Rallying.

wot do u think?

In my opinion the MINI is too big and bulky to be a successful J.WRC car.

Hence the likes of the Ignis, C2, Punto, Corsa etc being used.

Ironically the new MINI was too small- too short to meet the WRC specs. The next generation coming out is a little longer but may still be too short.

Too short for WRC yes, but not for J.WRC / Super 1600 whichever you prefer to call it.

Shell is too heavy for JWRC IMO. Shame as the engine would probably be quite strong.
