MINI Challenge cars are very, very cool. Take one road-going JCW hardtop, rip its guts out and turn it into a bona fide racecar. Do that a few times over and put them all on a track and you have a recipe for fun and rubbing doors.
The 3rd-gen MINI Challenge car is ready to terrorise circuits around England. We trust you’ll enjoy this video brought to us by Xcar.

Not a true “factory” BMW motorsport car like the last generation challenge car. Still awesome, love the gearbox!
Yes, and yes. That gearbox is very cool.
Do you think BMW will make a factory-built Challenge car?
i don’t think there will be an official factory challenge car. The mob building this one had semi-official assistance, ie early access to the donor cars etc, which would suggest the factory will not be doing there own.
