MINI Challenge Racers Take Flight!

The Motor Report has a sweet article about 20 of the the new JCW MINI Challenge cars being airlifted from Germany to Australia to arrive on time to compete in the inaugural Australian MINI CHALLENGE Series! Wait a second – why from Germany you ask? Well according to the article:

“The MINI Cooper Works CHALLENGE cars are built in Plant Oxford, in the UK, the home of all MINI production cars. They are then shipped to BMW Motorsport in Germany for final race fit out which sees the fitment of roll cages, fire extinguishers, six-point safety harnesses and HANS head and neck support compatible race seats as well as competition brakes, wheels and a distinctive aero body kit.”
