短短一年，迷你退出WRC
宝马发现不好玩gochinway03；）There was a fair bit of hullabaloo two years ago when Mini announced a return to the World Rally Championship for this season, but the road to making that happen has been as rocky as a gravel stage. It spent 2011 developing its JCW Countryman WRC challenger, changing its mind about how it wanted to work with Prodrive, dumped a driver due to budget issues, then registering its entry after the deadline had passed in a ploy that might or might not have been a protest aimed at the WRC promoter.
Mini had stated that it wanted to win the whole championship in 2013, and spent 2011 doing six WRC rounds as development. As it stands for this year, the WRC Team Mini Portugal – paid for by Mini, run by ProDrive – scored 26 points in the first rally at Monte Carlo and has so far blanked the rest of the season. The relationship between Mini and ProDrive appeared to be an ever-contentious affair, at the end of this season, even the money will dry up along with what support there was.
Because it contested every race in the calendar, though, Mini says it has completed the FIA requirements for homologation of the JCW Countryman WRC; meaning that privateers can continue purchasing the car and run it in the WRC. BMW Motorsport is continuing development and parts supply of the 1.6-liter turbo engine, and a report in Autosport indicates that ProDrive will continue to run Minis in the series next year. 宝马擅长玩DTM… BlackGold 发表于 2012-10-13 01:40 static/image/common/back.gif

相当于留学镀金？！gochinway06；） 看来一整年的2012WRC,总是觉得mini的车身结构和体态即便搭配着相同的马力和数据,就是比不过DS3和嘉年华的灵巧,缺少些灵气,我都想,即便换了勒布我估计结果也好不到哪儿去.勒沃宁从福特转到雪铁龙都是个例子,不过拉瓦拉这小子确实非常的顽抗,很敢的一个车手.赞一个!!gochinway34；）
