MINI WRC driver Kris Meeke gives us a first-hand tour of his “office” in this video from MINI. He shows off the controls and layout of the cockpit of his MINI Countryman WRC race car — a place where he gets to spend a lot of quality time. It’s sparse in there, but at the same time functionally beautiful in its simplicity.
<p>Spartan and functional! I never knew the tall stick was the hand brake…</p>
<p>Looks pretty much like every other race car inside.</p>
<p>Love it.  I’m so psyched to see MINI back in WRC (the only form of televised sports that I can bring myself to watch).  I’d love to know what percentage of parts are common between the road car and the race car.  The dash is just flimsy window dressing.  The transmission bears no resemblance to the factory one (tho I wish it did!).  I really want that control and datalogging setup in my car.  Might have to build one of those… </p>
<p>Anyone else see the original Mini peeking out from behind the <em>massive</em> WRC car? Â :-)</p>
<p>I don’t really feel his enthusiasm and excitement…</p>
<p>When is that gear shifter making its way into a production car? ;)</p>
<p>Bump shifters are very cool on the track but honestly on the street they are a handful lol. Actually if you really want one you can pick one up through M7.</p>
<p>“…look forward and go fast.” ;-)</p>
