Drag strip to rally stage
Turbo Mini Forums

My 1330 supercharged mini just competed in its first rally at talbenny (youtube today).

Log booked the car with the msa on the day, passed scrutineering and survived all 8 stages on rough ground and only reaching flat out in third for over a total of 45 stage miles with just body work battle scars (quite a few).
Some very shocked mk2 escort drivers out there, by the time they'd straightened up out of the corner they'd already been past, such a laugh.

Another reccomendation for the supercharged engine, this was a single venue event with a number of 1st gear hairpins and short straights, perfectly suited to the long power band and lightweight car.

Class 4a over 2 litre 2 wheel drive.
It wasn't entered to win just to get out and have some fun.
So many good comments on the day even from the ford brigade.
