Wow that looks a right handful great driving is that a standard hayabusa engine?

[ssuperJ03]

[EVERLIVERPOOL]

[DamianNixon]

....Eeeeeeek. ....saw that comin. Too anxious. or too cocky.

[bakednoodle]

[CaliMtrSpC16]

[1ukjunglednbraver]

[KnightKadir]

the car can make better, the driver isn't good enough

[toppockett]

[rs200000000000]

@toppockett mid engine rwd

[pussypuss100]

shite driver!!!

[TheCalvertz]

@pussypuss100 shite driver??? LOL shut the FUCK up you retard.

[lhtony]

it'd be great if we can see your MPH/KMPH throughout the race

[rs200000000000]

nice driving , just shows how fast those bike engine'd minis are i mean those other cars arlnt exactually road cars theres some pretty serious machines.

[DAKMAIN]

FAIL

[Maximusfool]

@DAKMAIN Why FAIL ???

[DAKMAIN]

@Maximusfool Did you watch the whole fucking video? He FAILS at the very end. High five!

[Maximusfool]

@DAKMAIN Hey no need to swear at me. I was just asking a question. No I didn't watch the whole video. Got bored halfway through. But I just checked it now. LOL and this is no ordinary FAIl this is an Epic FAIL after overtaking all those cars then he stacks it haha

[redrider10]

Sweet, sweet video crossedthread. One of the most enjoyable for me on youtube! That looks like a handfull to drive, fun...but a handfull. Excellent job!

[svdpsy]

Wicked! Nice Drivin', short wheelbase rear engined = very tricky, remember R5 Turbo2.

[Striped63]

Siiiiik passing skills at 1:45

[rockkid1996]

jump start :)

[Gerald5000]

It's like watching a go kart versus cadillacs.

[lolzoretwo]

well he didnt this guy had a lot to improve on his racing line

[hybridracer440]

that thing is sweet!

[offitcock]

yeah go on son!!

[fingalickenchicken]

That thing owns!

Well done :D

[m0eme]

Excelent, that video had me on the edge of my chair. The BMW just had the edge on traction but you gave him a run for his money well done.

[strangeRabbit1]

not just any mini tho dogg

this mini would be alot of fun tho

[nc30chris]

Oulten Park FTW!

[produKtNZ]

1:41 :D :D Nice catch under brakes!

What a mean mini lol

[strangeRabbit1]

WoW what an evil little mini

Now thats how you race a mini

Fantasic Video 5stars

[HoughMorris]

it still is a mini

[phez2000]

quite frankly, average, i thought it would have done better considering the amount of money and time invested in this car vs. pretty stock BMWs. Didnt really eat up the corners

[crossedthread]

That BMW is actually a pretty trick ex German Touring Car!

[oscarocco]

@crossedthread what circuit is this?



[walestopgear]

crazy

[TheGraye28]

Uhh this guy was a wild driver. Figures the only thing to best him was a 20 year old M3. E30 Forever!

[Jellyform]

Great race but a sad ending :(

[iamsosohotbaby]

it sounds so bad...

[nc30chris]

only inside, outside its just like a normal hayabusa :)

[stuartbowes]

perfect example of both needing to pick your own race line and not follow the guy in front, and also in how to put someone off when they're chasing you.. 6 of one 1/2 a dozen of the other

wicked car tho, totally dicked on everything else off the line

[jawol93]

Good car, good driver, good race! Awesome!

[stroppa01]

Liiike, Best use of a hayabusa motor yet i reckon

[Djbungal]

best finsh ti video in ages......

[nippasnapper]

needing bigger brakes i think !!! took the wrong line though the corner before the crash. apart from that TIZ WICKED !!

[steveoz32]

awesome, nice car nice driving :)

[russbosley]

Seemed to me like the rear end played up a couple of times, at the end it went wrong with no room to correct. seemed well in control to me most of the time, but racing drivers are best on the edge!

[fatfreejonny]

fuckin flying machine lol

[xxxxBootyLoverxxxx]

bad luck.

[JudgeGTi]

very reckless driving and it didn't seem like you where in control...proved by the ending. It was a blast to watch though.

[peetdiabeet]

I think the driving skills were very good, and if he didn't have the car under control, he would have kissed the grind @ the first corner, don't you think?

Just a Fanatic driver, but who can blame him..... he is driving a very, scary fast MINI!!!! TOP!

[ModgeDonkey]

That guy had plenty of control, that is why when it was going out of control he managed to MISS the other 2 cars very close to him.

Also if you think about it he was driving the most difficult car to control on the track probably, that much horse power with so little body wieght AND the shortest wheelbase of any car on the track.

Personally I give the guy 2 thumbs up, he did well and didn't crash, blame the BMW for him having to lock on =p

[crazedbasslover]

Excellent! What a car, and great driving!

[17DavidDavidDavid]

really really great driving well done, shame about the end. Bet thats a handfull but you made it look easy

[cezar912]

zajebiste:D:d

[FireballGER]

awsome car, and very nice driving, very nice......

THX for entertaining 5

[BMONLY]

0mg man.. i luv ur driving and ur car! crazy...

[just2stoned]

was watching for the mini but glad the E30 got out in front, I used to have one :)

[daveygravey123456]

wot engine he running in the e30?

[jfv65]

S14

[saddamsalaugh]

Shouldnt you have racing flameproof gloves on?

[jonathon208]

that thing called the title is for the open ya know it should be called "arace and a small scid at the end

[motherbitch1990]

shit thts fast

whats ya top speed?

[tomio145]

160 odd but its all about acel and handling, it only a bike engine rememba

[chongwong]

na, i'm pretty sure it has the hyabusa turbo, so around 300, because that's what zcars use in there race sereis. In hillclimb it's the monte carlo with a 450 bhp suprecharged vtec.

[ClanClannagh]

Think he did overcook it a touch at the end, Ive been round that track the very last right hander is over a slight crest you can see him go light and sides ways, plus that slower car in the way n that was that. Ace driving though that Busa engine was working hard all the way.

[neuspeedvid]

both the Mini and E30 got mad skill! great driving!!

[lowboost]

great skill at around 1:40 to 1:45!

[stefodml]

The overtake at 1.40 is awesome!

[Bluechewtoy]

what a start shame bout that car gettin in the way at the end

[cheapracer]

He didn't overcook it at the end, he went for the inside and got suprised by that slower car.

[sumo7914]

has that white car in front got a fuck1ng rocket attached to it??

[JDpetrolhead]

Fuck me! That thing goes like stink!! Love the move where the Mini drives between two cars going into a corner. Such a shame he over-cooked it at the end. Surprised about the lack of gloves though (illegal in racing I thought)

[PellaresProductions]

where can i find a dashboard like this???

[flyingears2002]

go onto the mini forum and pm the stig.

[Priza25]

looks like a custom job would have to make one yourself me thinks.

[crossedthread]

My advice is check out ZCars they have made hundreds of bike engined cars using all sorts of transmissions so they know what works and could save you alot in time and trouble (I'd say use a chain every time).

BARC - Sports and Special Saloons will allow these types of cars. Good Luck

[EvoToad]

ok thanks m8, i can't have a look on there website yet as there's something wrong. Id like the implicity of just a chain, but the car will be my road car aswell as a race car so i need that reverse gear. Have you get any infomation on the championship as i can't seem to find any, Thanks....

[EvoToad]

Hey m8, im going to build a Spaceframed fiat 126 with a turbocharged Suzuki hayabusa lump in the back. So far there's two problems i've come across - i don't want a chain, so need a transfer box and i was wondering what one you used if you actualy used one at all?? And the other is that there doesn't seem to be any championships for these little cars - Do you know of any? Thanks

[saddamsalaugh]

Racing without gloves ? is that allowed?

[gazza9651]

dont think your as fast as your car but when you get it sussed i am sure the m3 wont be in front for long!! awsome!!

[bonapartist]

Guy in the M3 did an excellent job.

[M3rVsT4H]

Great vid, keep them coming.

[hughesy94333]

i watched that race at oulton park the mini was my favourite.

[novanerved]

love the z cars, but that just doesn't have the torque, fast but struggles in certain quick bends

[ginge625]

what a wicked car! got a classic mini with a 1380 and a zx636r, but this, its awsome!! nice one.

[XarlyRbbitFuensa]

I have a mini cooper with hayabusa engine... its impresionant ... lovely¡¡¡

[findlayadams]

thats awsome!!!! well impressed with the passing!! quality driving!!

[spannermonkie]

awesome vid and driving. I knew that 'off' was coming!

[Hhmmmmmmmmmm]

love it! there is something realy satisfying seeing a mini trash so many cars! lol good work! nice drivin btw!:)

[FZ8Pete]

Excellent driving. Whish my little Mini racer was as fast as that! :(

[Rzznitzu]

Hey maker of this car do you think it is possible to fit an intercooler in the front, small compressor with a pipe running to the back and fitting a turbo ?

[crossedthread]

The tubo version is under "ZCars Turbo Hayabusa Monte Carlo". Can't seem to post a link

[pietjanhenk]

can't drive faster? lol

[whitemetro99]

where?

[crossedthread]

Oulton Park

[whitemetro99]

im not trying to knock these cars there great little cars .but there straight line speed does not relate to lap times ie a mini miglia with a well tuned A series has faster lap times round oulton park i still think the z car minis would be faster if the engine was in the front

[crossedthread]

Mid engined has got to be the way to go.

Oulton Park May 2007- Miglia best time = 1.38.8 CA in his ZCar Mini 1.38.2.

In 2008 they may be quicker still as there are currently a dozen being built to race!

[whitemetro99]

the miglia lap recordc is 2sec quicker than the 1.38 thay recorded this year no doubt the z minis will beat this in the coming years

next year looks like being a good years racing with all zminis the vauxhalls and our vtec see you on the track

[whitemetro99]

this mini is fast in a straight line but its lap times are not that great

[crossedthread]

??!! Lap record holder for its class!!

[khonlaox]

omg thats fast must have takin him years to build taht car

[novanerved]

I love quick minis, and the z cars range are at the top of the bill, but that video just proves that it is no match for japanese technology and a good driver....entertaining tho

[Badboyandyw]

Fcuking Awesome... I am going to start building mine soon... but will probably take 1-2 years... (joys of work in the meantime) ha ha... still, every saga has a beginning!! :)

[fiestapt]

very good mini..
