Liam Doran's Rallycross Mini.

Hmmmm that looks interesting

Hi Mark, thanks for posting the pics.

So Liam's going the MINI rouote, rather than the more widely-beaten 'Citroen' route?! Saw him testing it at Lydden the other month and it was only about 1 second off the pace of the existing rallycross Supercars, so with some development and possibly derestricting of the WRC power controls, there could be that missing second a lap or ore to come from the car. Will be interesting to see.

Is Prodrive involved with the entry (I noted the prodrive decal on the front, first picture) or is Liam doing it provately as LD Motorsport, or whatever? Hope it sounds better than the mechanical farting and spluttering I heard at Lydden Hill. Do you know when he is intending to run the car?

Cheers, Steve

hes running the car at x games barcelona this weekend i think

Prodrive have built it with support to Liam and they are going to start selling them

Thanks for the updates, guys. Makes sense on both counts!!

I've just checked Liam's website and it looks like he's staying with the DS3 for this year's European championship but using the MINI for next weekend's XGames in Barcelona.

Should make a strong team, Prodrive and Liam. Be interesting to follow developments.

Cheers, Steve
