Guys, that was one of the best interviews I’ve ever heard. The true story of how British Mini was cheated out of its rallye victory by nefarious schemers of the French persuasion. Well told, and well done.
Can’t wait for more.

Agreed. Rauno was a great interview who not only told great stories about the Monte Carlo Run, but also did an awesome job at articulating the essence of what the MINI is all about - from performance to safety. Well done.

Fantastic stories, amazing insights and some great concepts on tuning for the “serious” MINI enthusiast.
Now go track down Paddy Hopkirk guys… LOL

I appreciated his explanation of wheel travel and car handling. Lots of people believe that lower is better but daily driving is more like a rally than a race course…
