Wow!

Seriously tempted to give the Mini Challenge a go if I can get a suitable car for saving and preparing. Looks great fun. Well aware of how harsh motorsport can be, my eldest karts and I grew up in the motorsport world.

Did you use a pneumatic wrench once (or more times..) on the wheelbolts? It might cause a crack which can lead what you have experienced now... I'm a technical scrutineer for a schools kart challenge and we forbid the students to use pneumatic tools on wheelbolts for that reason.

Was quite a warm day indeed. That was me at Coppice that offered the bottle of water. Can’t make it to Croft, but hopefully catch up next season. - Adam

I feel your pain, I was racing this weekend in the heat! It's no fun

If it wasn't for bad luck, you guys would have no luck! Gutted for you. I will see you at Croft as I'm down for marshaling it. Hopefully I can be a good luck charm 😂

Hey Steven, do you ever plan to get racing yourself again? I used to enjoy your shared drives in the 750 club.

Wunderhübsch was kostet die in Euro und versand nach Deutschland Lg

Keep the vids coming, like seeing the progress of the build regardless.

First!

It's mini race, in mini cars, under brend mini😅

Well done, some good driving Emma and great work getting the car back out Steven.

Was just at castle combe track a few weeks ago. Good technical track. Shame about the tensioner issues but Keep at it guys 👍

#becauseracecar 😅

great content guys thx. Im looking for a R53 thanks to your videos.

Really good to hear a ‘buyers’ review that’ll be living with the car. What breed of dog do you have?

I forgot to say I liked and subscribed for some Mini content as I traded my Mini hatch JCW for my EV.

We find the charging infrastructure really good in our wee country of Scotland. There is a big EV charging station in Perth a smaller one in Dundee and numerous chargers around Aberdeen. We normally stop at Blairgowrie when we do the Snow Road over to Tarland & Banchory. When we go to Findhorn we stop in Perth or Pitlochry then Elgin. When we go to the borders we stop at Innerleithan or Moffat so maybe we are lucky in that where we go regularly we are well covered. I too am a Petrol Head but the performance of mine with AWD and 400 ps and air suspension and 325 watt surround sound with thirteen speakers, pan roof and 22" rims certainly makes up for the lack of engine & exhaust. If we can get over the drop in value of electric cars over the last eighteen months they are brilliant. We really mainly use ours for commuting and within a 200 mile round trip for home charging and not for trips home to Aberdeenshire in the snow and ice that it was bought for due to the range limitations. I think I would buy a PHEV the next time we are in the market for a car.

I was gonna say! I was sliiiiightly suspicious you did a gearbox replaced in 9 is minutes lol. Are you going for the getrag 6 speed as your next- next... box? Its pretty bullet proof as is and is pretty drop in to replace. Cheap as Chips as well! I believe it would Just fit you in with the regs for the clubsports if you did. They work like a dream with a quaife LSD. Once again, love the work, keep at it!

Love these type of videos, you should do ‘how to videos’ for setting up for the track, for example Geo… also, why do you use a pre fl Gearbox out of interest? My geo I have on my mini is -2.25 with 0.1 toe & -1.5 rear with 0.1 toe

Io pure ce l'ho nel gioco sono belle macchine 🚗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👌

Io pure ce l'ho nel gioco sono belle macchine queste 🚗🔥🔥🔥🔥👌

I've got a 58kwh Born V3 (not e-boost), had it for 18 months (in Red 😁) - came from a mk7 Golf GTi. I really like it, it's quite quick, but it's definitely not a GTi 😂. I agree with you EVs have their limitations - THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR EVERYONE 😂. The weather seriously affects range, my consumption has been ~3 m/kwh during the winter and ~4+ in summer - but with cheap overnight electricity that's still ~2p per mile. But, it did cost ~£900 to have a home charger installed.

Wow, I really am going bald. Time to shave it all off and get it over with 🤣🤣 Was great fun, hope you come back soon!

The other car blocked super aggressively. Was an intimidation block. Came way off their line. Good on you

I don't think either of you were fully at fault, it's just luck of the timing. You saw a gap and tried to take the inside. Other driver was already preparing to go into the apex. Then bam.

Вы ездите на мини р53?

I watch the Btc and i enjoy watching mini challenge it's great all the same cars just down to the set up and the driver but you must have a good job to even to afford to do that as any car racing is not cheap my family used to do the autograss raceing if you have heard of that and was down to money why we gave it up but i do wish you good luck with it mate 👍

Check the wishbone too though, small bends aren’t easy to spot with it though. Run a straight edge along a known good one, then compare.

To confirm, it is the carrier that’s bent. They are very easy to bend, and the tell tale is as you pointed out. The camber change/wheel tight to strut and the small marks on the inner middle edge (rust flakes in the vid) 100%

Just wanted to say that I love what you are doing with the Mini Challenge Clubsport car. Documenting all of this is a great resource for me while I modify my own mini to be season legal. Hopefully in a few seasons time I'll be seeing you on track! Keep at the good work <3

Think that was a poor decision looked like moving within a braking zone to me

Did I understand it right, did you also change the intercooler for a airtec one?. Because then comparing the intake temps before and after the TPE manifold would be like comparing apples to oranges

Looked like a racing incident, so a wee bit unlucky. Well done getting the car out for race 3.

Not the results you wanted, Cannot wait until Combe. Thankyou for using my work! Can’t wait to cover you for this season!

You say I went for a Gap realy nothing but experience There ....Good luck but have a good look 👍 nooo place in that corner

That was really bad luck to get the points on your license. I personally think they were a bit harsh on you there. I’ve watched the incident over an over a few times and there wasn’t a lot you could’ve done. There’s a gap to your right, you positioned yourself in it unfortunately the two cars in front of the one you had a coming together with were a little slow, the car in front would’ve hit them if they didn’t come across the track in your direction. At that moment you became a passenger of what unfolded next. To me this is a racing incident. Well done for getting the car back up and running though for race three. Good luck for the next race, I hope the racing gods will be on your side next time out.

Great video guys. I’ve been watching it over and over again to learn the track ahead of my upcoming trackday there. I hope I have as much fun as you two did

Me and Alana have just watched this on the "big telly". It was great to meet you Steven and hopefully we will bump into the both of you at another round in the future. 😁 Alana is very happy that her bobble from her hat made it into your video. 😂 The car looked amazing and sounded incredible too. 👌 It was great to see all the Minis putting on a great show all day for us spectators. 😀 - Scott

So you said you were keeping bhp with the tpe inlet quiet until after race day. Please enlighten us! 👍

Hi what mods have you done to engine And what exhaust you running sounds good

The stated charging performance is 5-80% in 35 minutes on a 58(62) battery. So 75% of 58 is 43.5 so in 35 minutes it needs to average 75kwh over that range. The best I’ve ever achieved was 72 on ionity once - all this has been scheduled out to Listers and VWs solicitors in detail and none of my figures have ever been challenged at all! Not anything. Not one charge, one number: nothing. It simply doesn’t perform ever at that stated level. In contrast my BMW i4 just hits the numbers ever single time

Remove de White vinyl in the windows and put PPF, protect and its clear 👌

Looking forward to seeing this car being driven in anger on Sunday at the track. 👌😀 - Scott

Looking great, looking forward to watching the stream!

Car go broom! 😂 The cars looking great, I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on. Have fun and good luck for the race weekend 🚗🚗🚗

Looks very ‘Race Car y’ now! See you at Brands!

Mines not been there who knows it might do at some stage 😂
