    I love how close to the mustang he's willing to stick

    Mustang driver: "Who stuck a picture of a mini on my rear view mirror"

    It's amazing how much faster you can get around a track when you don't have to worry about braking, shifting and feathering the throttle. Just lift a little before the turn, then pedal down when you get your line.

    Colin Chapman said: "Add more power and you'll be faster on straights, remove some wheight and you'll be faster everywhere" The mini follows thar principle when compared to the stang. Great racing, wonderful machines.

    The agility vs power struggle usually boils down to the track layout. The number and length of straights vs curves.

    That Mini is a bully to the Mustang. Awesome racing

    If only the mini had 15 horsepower more, it would tear those stangs apart haha

    The Lotus Cortina, Mini, and Mustang perfectly sum up the epicness of 60s British saloon car racing.

    I love how he was drafting him trying to go for the slingshot knowing that he didn't have the power. Just practicing. This man has future plans.

    There's nothing better than pushing a cooper Cooper s that hard. Owned two of them and the best fun ever on tight twisting New Zealand roads.

    In West Los Angeles in 1968 when I was a high school senior, a friend of mine owned a Mini Cooper he bought used and had tricked out. Nothing could catch him in the curves. I still remember the four velocity sticking up through a cut out in the hood and the four tennis balls he would close them off with when he parked.

    Memories of the 1960s in England. It was common to see a sticker on the back of mk. 1 Minis stating "You have just been mini-ed". Too many drivers got to see the little beasts passing them on the roads. They definitely did not take any prisoners.

    If you’ve never driven a mini then you’ve got to try it. Big smile on your face from start to finish.

    There was no car on that track working harder then that Mini and its roller skate wheels. The lean on that bad boy was something to admire all on its own. Love all these cars!

    I recall watching the Saloon Car racing at Thruxton in the mid 70's. A similar scenario with Richard Lloyd and Stuart Graham in Chevy Camaro Z28s and and Andy Rouse in a Triumph Dolomite Sprint. The Camaros would power away in the early laps but the brakes would start to fade and the Dolomite would begin to catch up and generally pass the Camaro in the last couple of laps. Fascinating racing - much more interesting than F1

    I heard that racing a Mini is the same as wrestling a bear cub in a telephone booth!

    Watching a mini terrorize a mustang is hilarious 😆. I need more of this!
