A new trailer for season 17 of Top Gear UK just hit the interwebs and in it, there’s a moment of special interest to MINI fans. At about 0:10, we see none other than Captain Slow himself, James May, driving the fire out of what appears to be the MINI Countryman WRC race car. He seems to be racing against something, although we aren’t shown what. Knowing Top Gear though, it’s as likely a cheetah on methamphedamines as a jet engine powered BMX biker. Either way, we’ll definitely be tuning in.
<p>“James meets up with Gold Medal Winner Amy Williams and races her in the new Mini Rally Car.” Amy Williams is an English skeleton racer.</p>
<p>If you follow a certain WRC Rally Driver on Twitter you’d have seen he was at yesterdays episode filming for the show that goes out this Sunday, and there is a clip he posted of him driving the MINI on the Top Gear track</p>
