Temperatures were not perfect: Air: 27 degree Celsius, Track: 53 degree Celsius. The suspension setup of the GP testcar was more like a road setup, than a track focused setup. More: Supertest in sport auto 8/2020.

[@alexc.7561]

@@ginger169 why? Mini should be faster because of the less weight...

[@ginger169]

@@alexc.7561 Mini has a better acceleration because of his less weigh and 50 more nm so it’s definitely better in drag races. On track the type R is way faster, I think it’s because of his aerodynamic which isn’t like all the other hatchbacks. It’s more like an coupe. Still mini jcw gp is another segment so not the competitor of type r

[@rafaelpaiva9003]

very good

[@petroltalks]

Still an impressive time for a small hatchback. But the 2nd generation GP looks so much nicer to drive, lighter, more agile, in terms of laptime it's quite a lot slower but i'm sure you have a fantastic time driving it compared to the new car with Auto transmission and "safer" handling.

Slow...if you know that Civc and Megane (bigger cars, with rear seats) with about the same power have 20ish seconds on Mini GP then it's obvious that this is a big failure... N yes, Golf GTI CS too... 👎🏻

[@yalimdilmen7960]

I had a mini cooper s and I liked it so much. It was crazy fast and agressive for a 4 seated roadcar. However, GP versions are limited edition, track focused and has to push limits for its class considering the wild character of its regular brother. If GP is Mini's answer to 300bhp+ competition, it must be faster than 2 year old civic type r. A mass produced practical 4-seated citycar without any major compromises(proper rear seats and a practical trunk). If this bigger car could set a laptime of 7:43, I expect GP to hit around 7:35-7:40. Test driver Gebhardt has proven his skills many times on this track so, it is Mini here to blame.

Here is a typical review of a Cooper Mini Original review: July 4, 2019 This is by no stretch, the worst car on the face of the planet. I say this in all fairness to mini and BMW. I had to have the engine changed four times. The turbo changed 3 times and the transmission changed twice. All with less than 85000 miles on the car. I have spent over $50,000 on this car because my wife loved it and wanted to keep it. I currently still have the vehicle. It still runs after repairing it last but, I paid more to repair it than it is worth (blue book). So I will drive it till it breaks then scrap it. I bought her a brand new Nissan. It has had no issues nor do I expect it to in the near future. I just spent another 2300 on the car to have other "Plastic" components fixed to repair the car to make it usable. However, if I had thought it through I would have taken the car to a scrap yard instead. If I could have given Mini a negative star review I would have. The kicker here is the fact that they "Mini" knowingly sale crap vehicles to the public. Knowing the issues exist but failing to accept responsibility for the shortcomings is truly the real issue that makes me hate them. I feel there are a few things everyone should know. Yes, the mini is a very fun car to drive when it works and while it last. However, this is few and very far between. The cars reliability rating should be sitting in the negative range. I say this because as long as I have owned the car it has sat in the service department more than it has been on the road. I have had lots of awesome rentals over the years though. Thus the reason for the purchase of the new Nissan. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company that fails to own their mistakes. Instead, you will be left to pay for them if you make the purchase. I recommend any other manufacturer over Mini. I don't say that lightly. I haven't seen one that would provide such an inferior product all while failing to uphold a warranty. Take my advice and RUN from Mini. It is truly a terrible company to deal with. Worst reliability of any car I have owned.

[@PaulHathaway]

I have a 2005 MINI R50 that I've driven across America 2x, has only had to have the power steering replaced (under warranty), and is still in such good condition, mechanics comment on it when it is getting regular maintenance. Your experience obviously varies because we've had no issues with our Countryman as well.

[@armanddesarrierespays719]

It's a pretty slow car if it can't do less than 8 minutes... I don't get all the hype. If you want a fast lap time in a FWD hatch, why not get a Civic R?
