TheMINI John Cooper Works team, owned and operated by Indianapolis-based LAP Motorsports, is sporting 3 cars in the TC America class of the World Challenge series. MINI has a long history in motorsports and has always felt right at home on the track. Ever since John Cooper first exploited the racing potential of the classic Mini in the early 1960s, his name has stood for success and performance on the race track with MINI.

We are the designers and creators of these awesome, purpose-built racing tracks. From the reliable and slick hardware to the sophisticated computerised scoring system; thousands of hours of research and development has gone into creating Miniracing.com equipment.

This was my second attempt at this race. I had tried to do it the previous week, but failed. The reason for my failure was that I had somehow confused this race with being a Time Trial, perhaps because it is run on the Bologna course or I had simply misread the description when joining up. Whatever the reasons, my first attempt at the race lasted only 10 seconds as I soon realised that my Specialized Shiv TT bike was the wrong choice and the bunch swarmed past me, I was left pedaling solo, resulting in a DNF.

This time around I was determined to last longer, so whilst waiting to start I double checked I was on the correct bike. Not having access to the quickest bike frames and wheelsets, I had opted for the Canyon Aeroad and DT Swiss wheels, and hoped that would be sufficient.

We all know that the start of races in Zwift are intense, but usually within a minute or two the race settles into a rhythm. The difference with this one was that because it was so short, there was no time or opportunity for this to happen. Basically, the intensity of the start of the race continued until the end and it was simply exhilarating but exhausting.

The group was one frantic mass, a mixture of all category riders, where your position was constantly in motion. This was in part due to the changing gradient of the course. The slight dips and inclines, though only minor, did affect the group as on the slight descents, certain riders surged ahead, resulting in the pack immediately reacting and closing any gap.

By 3km my lungs were bursting. By 4km, I could feel the lactic in my legs and they were starting to tire. By 5km, the finish line could not come soon enough, but there was still 900 frantic meters to go.

At 5km to go, one opportunistic rider zipped off the front of the group, I recognised this as a speculative attempt and sat in the pack as we pulled them back into our ranks as the speed of the bunch increased a notch. With 400 meters to go, I was getting tense, this was going to be an epic bunch sprint.

This sprint finish was easily the fiercest I have experienced whilst racing on Zwift. It was simply severe, so competitive, such an adrenalin rush, and yet so much fun. After the finish, I was left with a feeling like I had just come off some crazy theme park ride. It was all thoroughly exhilarating and I loved it.

With several fairly long and fast straights, corner exit speed was clearly the best way to climb positions when the Minis took to the circuit. It was thrilling to watch as one car just managed to edge past another before the next apex, sometimes making it through with inches to spare, and at other times over-cooking it and taking too much apex on the way out, conceding the position immediately.

While everyone else has made valid points, let me try another angle. Not everyone has enough money to bin a truly fast car and walk away from it, while slower cars are usually much more budget friendly and thus easier to walk away from. This changes the risk analysis dynamic in a drivers mind and allows a driver to push closer to the edge of traction with a slower and less expensive car.

For example; say you have two choices of car to drive at the track, a bone stock NA miata and a current Mclaren. Now the mclaren will absolutely give you more performance at the track and even driving it at 50% you will average better laptimes than the miata but how close to 10/10 ths are you really going to drive the Mclaren knowing in your head that the cost of a mistake is much higher. Now combine that with the fact that slower cars give you a much larger opportunity to actually save the car should you have a mistake and if you dont manage to save it then you are only our the fraction of the cost of the faster car.

Now you may be the kind of person who considers fast cars pocket change and if thats the case, then good on you, drive what ever you want. Most people exist on some sort of budget and in the end it usually comes down to the risk and cost analysis and the lower cost of a slow car means that there is more time to enjoy the driving and less time worrying about repair bills.

You're kind of off with your statement, it goes "It's more fun to drive a SLOW car FAST, than a FAST car SLOW".

If you got sat in a 950hp LeMans car, you would only be able to drive the vehicle at 50% of its full potential, due to the massive lack of skill (not an insult, just a general fact, unless you're a LeMans or Race driver). However, hop into a buttoned up well modded 100-250hp car and wa-la, now you can fully push the vehicle right to its limit (even at these lower power levels it can generate sketchy amounts of speed). This it allows you to fully push your skills, and the car, to the limits.

This develops skill. It also develops smiles and talent.

Not really: A fast car is way more forgiving when you make a mistake. The reason being: Power in droves. Brake to soon on low powered car and you cant make up the speed in the straights. With a fast car you can compensate, with a slow car you cant.

Some people (including me) feel guilty for driving cars that they cannot extract the full potential out of. It takes a lot less time to master a mini compared to a full blown lemans racecar. Thats where the whole slow car fast thing comes from.

Perhaps it's because very few of us have the skills required to drive a genuinely fast car at 10/10ths? Not everyone is Craig Lowndes, Michelle Mouton, or Tom Kristiansen. The skill and commitment required to push a fast car to the absolute limit is something I could never hope to have. But I enjoy driving my MX5 quickly, using much of its (and my) capacity. Could I do that in a McLaren or somesuch? Hell no.

because it is more mentally taxing and smaller margin of error for driving fast car at the limit compared to a slow car at the limit? sure it can be fun as well but there isn't much place to do it safely other than the tracks and closed circuits/roads. and you wont be breaking many laws on the road if you drive slow car fast than fast car fast.

I think you may be confused, people may drive fast cars fast but they definitely don't drive them any where near the limit compared to slower cars. In a slower car there is just more time to react so it is easier to drive to the limit and as the cars get quicker that limit and the safety margin comes on much quicker and is a much smaller window. Then there is the inevitable consequences of making a mistake, putting a car into the wall at 100 is much less costly (both in money and possible injury) than putting a car into the wall at 200. The point is that everyone subconsciously understands these differences and is more willing to push closer to the limit in slower cars. The reason that pro drivers are pro drivers is because they train to push past the subconscious limits of the mind and have enough seat time to actually find the limit of the cars, it also helps when the repairs don't come out of their own pockets.

As much as most of the reader love speed, we mostly drive on open roads ...

And even if you don't care about speed tickets/limits, depending where you live road surfaces can be very far from track ones.

In those conditions, claiming to drive (really) fast car 10/10 is either being completely reckless or overestimated your driving skills.

I like how you think everyone is capable of driving a fast car at 10/10ths. What you think is 10/10ths and what actually is 10/10ths are probably 2 separate things.

A slow car at 10/10ths is achievable for almost anyone, a fast car at 10/10ths requires skills that most casual drivers don't have.

I'm basing my opinion on personal experience as an amateur looking at it from a casual point of view, not on what seasoned race drivers are capable of. Maybe you should do the same.

I used to make fun of my brother-in-law when I saw the smile he had at the wheel of his mini.

And then one day I had one. Yes, it's not a monster of power or speed but it was so much fun on the small roads of the European countryside.

I still regret having to sell it (but my back thanks me though. If you are 1m80 or more, it is clearly not the best choice of car).

You had to try one to understand it (at least on european roads. Not sure that it will be so fun on big american style roads though )

Ah, this something is very close to my heart! The drive to and from work in one of these legit makes my day, and also surprising a few Fiesta ST's is icing on the cake aha :')

Many thanks for the photos @ Driftworks last year Mr. Butters!

Now that that is out of the way, I am going to teach you how to build a mini racing drone. This is a hobby that has been rapidly growing in popularity and after reading this article you will begin to understand why. If you have never had any experience with any kind of multi rotor i would suggest going out and getting yourself something like a Cheerson CX10 or a blade nano QX for FPV practice indoors as this will improve you skill and when you do get a proper one you will be in much more control than someone who hadn't practiced with a smaller indoor quad. Something else that will help are simulators, Simulators such as FPV free rider or liftoff are great tools to practice flying but you must already own a transmitter or a playstation / XBox controller, These simulators are growing fast and the production side of things are getting a lot closer to creating the perfect mirror of a real life quad.
