Some great videos, here.

MotoringFile is a great Mini related site. All kinds of good information there, including all the latest news on Minis and future Minis (Opa, it’s where I am tracking what’s going on with the plans for a 4WD Mini), plus a great section on do it yourself stuff. They also have a comprehensive buyer’s guide for Minis, broken down by not just by model but also by year (which is a fantastic idea).

The Mini Challenge (translated) is a Formula 1 style series of races for some seriously hopped up Minis. Think stock car racing, if the factory was in the business of making race cars. Hopefully, you’ll notice that these Minis look, well, different. And they are a wee bit fast.

I tried to make it to Hockenheim last year, to see one of the races (here), and had my plans fall apart at the last minute. The boys went, and we joined them for a BBQ afterwards.

Hopped up Minis racing on two of the most famous tracks in the world, one with which is a stone’s throw from where I live and the other is one that I’ve driven. How cool is that.
