Fun… I wish WRC would open up its restrictions so MINI could compete.

Yes, looked like he was often turning in so abrubtly that the front tires were quickly overwhelmed…did not look like the best technique to get the most out a FWD car. Of course it’s always a different story when you’re the one behind the wheel. :)

Nice driving by Giannis. I could imagine the navigator (is there one?) shouting "dosto! Ade dosto!" :)

Great Friday morning vid and nice to see an R56 being driven well.

I don’t think there was any handbrake on that tail hang – drivers hand was busy with a downshift. I thought the right setting on the rear sway bar put that oversteer on tap for Minis without handbrake. Otherwise it did plow a bit in those fast corners – driver was chopping at them to hold his line!

Did he use some hand brake on that sharp left hander about midway through the video? That was impressive.

A bit understeery no? Driver needs to wait a little to put the power down…just my opinion lol
