    Beginning to wonder if the side panels are actually for aero at all or are they there just so they could give the car a wider stance with the wider tyres and I presume wider wheels as well.

    Looking at the spoiler it looks very flat there doesnt seem to be any curve to it so is it just a spoiler and not actually a wing.

    Also from the some of the underneath shots the floor doesnt seem to be as flat as other minis or especially the gp2.

    The fact the gp3 diffuser is just a balance as well. Make me wonder if all of the parts on the car are just rice

    The wing could aid with stability

    Not sure if it has been mentioned previously, but (the dealer who sold me my JCW says) the GP3 will be unveiled during the Goodwood festival.

    I appreciate that the Ring time will be mentioned as this car's outstanding development achievement, nonetheless, both Megane RS and Civic T-R are both much faster anyway, so why care?

    But, I do like that wing (then again, I like the Type R).

    Goodwood video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXL1TSRhvPs
    Not much of it on the track and doesn't reveal anything new as far as I can tell.

    TGE - I watched his clip a few days ago. I follow Tim (Schmee) Mr JWW and Sam from (seen through glass) for my Car porn oh and That mad Norwegian Guy Tesla Bjorn But this Guy TGE with his now couple of millions worth of Cars I only watch when like he has access to something a bit special example his new GP3 he has in order. Petrol Ped has one on order too but at least he knows what he’s buying.

    If the guy says “ Complete chaos“ one more time in his clips.
    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!

    I'm totally disillusioned by the gp now. It doesnt really seemed to have moved the mini game forward. And there is still no mention of an LSD

    Reading the review post on FB today about it I just can’t believe that there’s no adjustment on the suspension.
    As the guy said the GP3 is £5K more than the Challenge was, albeit with 70bhp more, but the Challenge was obviously more useable on track days and not just a fashion accessory.

    I’m also still VERY surprised about those side “wings”.
    If the powers that be in Europe will not allow new cars to have canards, due to them being a risk of cutting folks feet off in a accident, how the hell are they allowing huge leg slicers on the GP3 ?
    Plus how are you suppose to reach the bodywork behind them properly to clean, polish and wax it ?
