Great clip, it certainly corners pretty flat, even for a mini. He won't have put much wear on those brakes at all. I wonder how much he was lifting the inside rear wheel on some of those corners because he wasn't slowing down much.

Far out! A fifth gear would be nice too.

I'm thinking, he's gonna crash, he's gonna crash. Agree with AD totally.

Pretty impressive. I really want him to have just a bit more HP! Frustrating to watch him catch on the corners just to have them walk away on the straights.

Ain't that the truth lol.
Imagine that Mini somewhere like Brands Hatch short circuit tho', it'd lap EVERYONE more than once in a race.

The old school Datsuns had a good sound too. https://youtu.be/nRRHnvUhDbU from back in the day when you could drive to and from work, rather than crawl like today.

you also see the old 'it's only a mini, I'll just push him over' attitude many times too, Had it several times in normal traffic with lane changers etc. in the wifes mini.
I would love to own a old classic Mini again. There is so much you could do to it. With all these front wheel drive jap cars around you can do just about any engine swap you want to.
