Just thought Id post a few pics of the John Cooper Challenge Cooper S'. They look sooooo good... and very violent !! Any1 been to any of these races> On the site, it says that on Sky Sports 2, a race is gonna b on at 5:30pm (GMT)... I dont have Sky so I cant watch it

[DarkMiniCooperS]

nice pics!

[MiniCooper]

I no, "action packed"!! Heres a few more... when you have a bit too much fun in a MINI, things come to a bitter end...

I wonder why the R-90s on the S. They're a bit heavy aren't they?

[MiniCooper]

Smaller diameter I think, so that the tires are bigger? I dunno, something to do with heat etc. Correct me if Im wrong

Myself and a few others have been going to these races since it started two years ago. We are currently planning our next meets for Silverstone and Rockingham.

Great pics, but the damage almost makes me tear over!

30 plus of us went to Castle Combe (Thanks Cooper_sport et al) and it was a great day out. Everyone should try to go to at least one event - good value tickets too. Friendly pits, and a nice atmosphere. I'm still getting over my sunburn! (And my hearings just recovered from standing too close to the 6.6 litre Stealth in the pitsd when it started up! )

[MiniCooper]

Id love to go... but my mum cant drive and im too far from any circuits

[HObzy]

Rockinghams not that far from london though you could try to cadge a lift off one of the gang going

[MiniCooper]

Lol, i could do... but, as Im 15, i doubt my mum'll let me go, but ill ask anyway... ANYONE LIVE NEAR ISLINGTON??

[HObzy]

Hmm, yes going off with random adults you meet on the net is a little un PC i suppose

[MiniCooper]

Lol I no, ill av 2 wait till im 17 i spose... then i can chug down in my lil C-reg Mini City, or, if im lucky... R-reg Rover CooperSport

You need to do some parent nagging! by the way thats my S on the infield behind number 22 on the tow truck

[MiniCooper]

Silver and Black Shaun?? Nice colour combo... I don't see that much on S', only Coopers. Mini racing isnt as raw as it used to be, just take a look at the pics attached!! And yes, they are Ferraris and AC's racing against Mini Coopers

[Shaun]

Its Dark silver and white?

[DerekR]

Interesting rear spoilers on the S's. Are they part of the JCW S kit?

How many S's entered? I assume they're a different class but it would be interesting to know how close the Coopers get to them in a race.

Derek

9 S's out of 30 car grid - Different class BUT same points structure so championship can be won from either club or s class - On most circuits in the dry there is a 2 second difference a lap in the wet it's less

Thanks, Glenn - was curious as to the laptimes. Any feedback on the JCW brake kits? I continue to mistrust the brakes on my car and notice JCW are offering slotted rotors etc. Have you tried any of this?

Our new rules allow me to change rotors - but not their diameter. I can't change the calipers but pads are free. Am considering going to Castrol SRF and getting slotted rotors.I'm using Ferodo DS2500 pads and the jury's still out on them.... my issues may be the fluid and rotors.
