In what we hope is one of many to come, here’s is the video torrent of the first round of the 2006 MINI Challenge at Snetterton. Note that this is not a video file but a torrent that will allow you to download the larger video file itself. To do that you’ll need to have a BitTorrent client which you can get here.

A big thanks to Joe for making this possible!
The file will work on any program that plays DiVx files. We at MotoringFile recommend the open source VLC player available for a variety of operating systems.
For the newbies in the house, here’s all you need to know about Torrents:

there doesn’t seem to be anyone seeding it.
nvrmind.. working now.
if the download ever completes, I’ll mirror it over at WRR for those of you that are having trouble with the torrent download
The Torrent download will be very slow in the beginning because only on person is seeding. So please once you finish downloading keep seeding for at least a day or two so it makes the rounds and then picks up speed.
Thanx! Also thanx to DB for mirroring it.

I think I was the only one seeding last night based on how long it took ;). That or comcast is throttling torrent bandwidth (not sure on that one).
I’m going to hold off for now on making that available. I didn’t think of this last night, but I don’t need to get into any trouble with the show creators or anything like that. Sorry
Well DB, I don’t have a notable MINI reputation to ruin by hosting the video, so here goes:

If they want to tell me to take it down, the can do so at TakeDownThatVid [at] raceva.com
FairUse baby, especially since its not availible in the US.
Holy Crap! That was amazing! Now i’m really itching to get out on-track.
Thanks for posting the video. It is great to see MINI’s in action.
Can’t wait to see the next round.
Cheers,
Jack
That Rocks…
The Thrills the Spills!!!

thx

danielg — Thank you very much for hosting! I was able to see your video but not the torrent version in the article. Mini’s bumping, sliding around, really reminds me of SCCA type racing. Way cool!
Zakdog,
You’ll have to download and install the correct codecs. Try this: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow" rel="nofollow ugc">http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow</a>
