    Just a pity they left the WRC Rallying.
    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    Thats two years in succession for Peterhansel in the MINI watched both years events on Eurosport (highlights)

    There will be a MINI in the WRC this year as well but from a Privately entered team. The LOTOS team WRC.

    Its really sad that MINI have pulled out of the WRC again!! (Factory support wise). As far as I'm concerned they should have tried putting their All4 system into the hatch from the beginning and used that for the WRC instead and that might have been more fruitfull for them in my opinion after all there main competitors all had 3dr vehicles compared to their 5dr Countrymans so MINIs were at a weight dissadvantage to start off with
