MINI was back at Nurburgring this morning with the R56. This image was captured by a regularly updated webcam positioned at the entry to the Ring.ÂÂÂ
Thanks to Hollis at motoring underground for sharing the image he saved from the webcam with us.
Can someone host it somplace for which we don’t need a log-in? Email me, I’ll host.

Wow, slow news day, eh, Gabe? 😉 What’s your analysis of this image? I can’t quite make out the extent of the cladding this time around…

NOT! I think the “GP Delivery” Comments may set a record for server swamping! 🙂
blalor – there are several people who post on MF. If you look at the bottom of each story you’ll see who writes each article. For this one you’ll notice it was Dave. Thus ends today’s MF lesson. Tomorrow, categories!
Seriously though to answer your question; I have no idea. I just saw this two minutes ago. Seems like pretty cool news to me. Oh wait. Maybe this will help:
<b>MotoringFile Analysis:</b> Looks like MINI is putting some final touches on chassis settings or something. Cool.
Sorry – I’m really sarcastic today 🙂
I just think its pretty kick arse that the 07 MINI was caught at the ring by a Webcam, thats the most impressive news.
My Forum has been watching the Ring webcam like hawks for 3 days straight since we found out about it and have seen some awesome cars (the 07′ might have been submitted by one of us….. hehe). It’ll be interesting to see how many more test cars will be caught by this webcam in the future.
I think its REALLY kool news.
Ooops, nevermind about the submission hehe
There’s no hiding in the Internet World 😉
I was just there on Saturday (15th)! Took 4 laps. It was crazy. Loads of cars. 4 of every 5 turns I was just trying to stay out of the way. Saw an accident every lap. I was looking for the R56. No luck though. Figures they would keep it hidden on a big weekend, then bring it out at 5pm on a Wed. Plan to go back soon.
Its baaaaaaack! I just took this image one minute ago

I like the way it’s surrounded by it’s big BMW brothers as if it was being guarded by them 🙂
Is it my perspective or do the fenders come out more than the previous generation? The wheels look like they are of a wider track also.
It looks like they washed it since the last time we saw it.
