As much as I think the road going Mini’s are overpriced, I do however enjoy watching this car run in the season opener of the 2012 WRC season. For a new outfit, factory or not, to be running at the top with the seasoned WRC factory teams like Citroen and Ford; it is honestly quite an amazing achievement with a car that they’ve only ran for a few races last year.

Dani seemed to be happy with the car and should be relatively competitive. Petter’s (2x WRC champ) return to a factory team driving for Ford should throw a good variable for the King, Sab Loeb, but will it all be enough to dethorne the most successful rally diver in the history?
