a lot of Minis on the 1964 RAC Rally

 

Austin made a couple more 59 minis to race at the Goodwood Revival.

For 2025, Goodwood’s St Mary’s Trophy will be opened to pre-1960s cars, and Burlen, which owns the Austin nameplate has seized the opportunity to add some full-size Austins to its cute J40 pedal cars.

Lining up on the grid of the classic touring car race at the Revival will be two newly-built Austin Minis that are detailed recreations of the 1959 specification. The bodyshells and safety cages were supplied by Owens Fabrications in Wales, with Swiftune in Kent providing race-ready A-Series engines.

WRTC driver Liam Doran's Class Seven Autograss Mini pickup powered by twin Hayabusa engines with a combined 380 HP... does the 1/4 in 10.57, 0-60 in 2.36 seconds, because it weighs only 1323 pounds

Skip the first 5 minutes. It's utter waste of time

This Austin Mini pickup (or Pick-Up if you're into branding) is built to be a part of Class 7, a nearly unlimited class that allows you to build anything as wild as you want so long as you have a body shell shaped from a "saloon, hatchback, or pickup."

Racers get the sideways action like you find with drifting, but with the added spectacle of wheelies coming out of the corners like high-powered sprint car racing

Settled just behind Liam's carbon Tillett seat and an aluminum firewall are a pair of Suzuki Hayabusa engines that were built by Dan McKenzie of DM Racing with a full Simpson race exhaust system. These engines are fitted with a pair of four-speed gearboxes that are then linked together using an X C Worx twin-drive box just for this dual sportbike engine setup.

how the hell does this twin Hayabusa powered Austin Mini Truck roast the back tires, while on the rear bumper, and drifting around the pylon?

built to kill tires, 1977 Austin Mini

turbo Busa powered 1966 mini Cooper

240 hp at 1500 pounds. Must be really fun! In comparison, the porsche Spyder from the factory weighed about 1250pounds and had 110 hp. A kit car with a tricked out engine will get about 230 hp, so this Cooper has nearly the power to weight of a racing Porsche Spyder. Pretty damn amazing
