As you probably already know, MINI killed the MINI CHALLENGE series in Germany. Race teams and fans in Europe were surprised and upset; the race teams had invested considerable time and euros in buying and building MINI CHALLENGE cars. In response to this feedback, the independent MINI TROPHY series was started to replace the MINI CHALLENGE series.
The MINI TROPHY website is now live with information (in German only) on the series, vehicle specifications, tickets, and the race calendar. [View with English translation.]

Hi,
Can you tell me what the actual racing schedule will be for the Mini Trophy group on Saturday, May 12 at Paul Ricard?
Thanks!
First of all, I love my Clubman Cooper Diesel.What I don’t like so much?1) The audio adjustment is to fine. You have to turn the knob or press the sieretng wheel buttons quite a lot.2) The space below the radio fits CD cases in width but not in length. (I have an iPod, yes. But still I do also have some CDs in the car.)3) Taking about iPod: I wish the plugs for the iPod connector were positioned deeper, so the cable wouldn’t stick out into sight.4) When the engine is off, the sunroof doesn’t close with one tip of the button. Either you keep the car idling until it’s closed, or keep the button pressed. The side windows work just fine, why can’t the sun roof too?
