This week we once again go spec racing with an homage to the Mini Challenge UK (http://www.minichallenge.co.uk/) race series, sadly we don't have a spiffy Mini Cooper race car or even some fancy bolt on aero pieces but we do at least have the 2011 Mini Cooper S which has some nice stripes on the hood and looks awesome with a Driver Number slapped on the side!
So here's the deal, grab a Mini Cooper S '11 and throw on the parts listed below, tune where applicable and lets go racing!!

Apologies for the short notice / late post.. suddenly Thursday.. again!!
ALSO: As per recent trends this will be in an open Club room so tuning will be open within the basic hp / pp / weight, I'll be starting the night running the usual spec car since it's already set up (about the only thing I see maybe adjusting outside that spec would be the transmission).
