Mini vs the world | Jordan and Swift at 75MM

[@delboy2596]

Great job all, well done to all the fellas at Swiftune, for the outstanding prep work and Nick/AJ for a great drive.

[@MetalGearRien]

This was spectacularly produced and filmed. Well done guys.

[@alecbrown66]

My dad actually built the original of this, plus it's sister red clubman for Richard Longman (my dad's colleague and friend, and whose mum was my dinner lady at primary school), for the btcc back in the day. But the twins were so powerful and fast even Richard found them a handful! The era and magic of the boys at downton engineering ( and later Smiths and August Motors) around Downton, in South Wiltshire, showed what you could do with simple street cars. My dad ( Bob brown, actually built the blue longman clubman, and it's sister red one, for the btcc, for Richard longman, the original ones, and deserves mega respect for them), and gave me the most special street sleeper '74 mini as my first car! The original Downton Engineering lads are the unsung heroes of the mini history

[@steve20664]

Proper cars, proper racing, great to see! 😀👍

[@corrinecummings3538]

In the whole spectrum of TV spectator sport, from Prem football right the way down to tennis, these old motors drifting in anger is a visual cut-above. Mesmerising.

[@40spinup]

Coolest car ever!

[@the_eyesaw_collective]

Amazing - now I know why I stopped watching F1 - This has soooooo much more excitement - and a 1275 Mini v V8s, Capris andsuch, and still coming 5th! This is a testament to how well the car is set up and the skill of the drivers.

[@gazcolman9184]

Looking at the escort out the side window on the mini and hearing the motor screaming and seeing the rear bouncing away kinda puts a lump in the throat. Those two would be the first lottery win purchases for me! 😁

[@caribstu]

valves dancing away on the bonnet

[@jody024]

You have to build them then to race them like that.

[@pseudonym5136]

Real Motorsport at it`s best!.....I want my 76`Mini back!!!.......

[@johnwhite9760]

Makes F1 look like paint drying. Great Mini, great drivers and great racing

[@kentvonseverin1257]

Laughed out loud...

[@skylined5534]

I'm glad classic series like these are still hotly contended because there's slim pickins these days for modern motorsport!

[@simonthomas5367]

Brilliant! Just brilliant! What a noise. Fabulous stuff.

[@Handleyman]

Mini’s are like Jack Russell’s and that old saying...”it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog”

[@ClubmanGT1971]

David Handley brilliant mate👌. Love my Minis and my two Jack Russells!

[@Ralph2]

This stuff is pure gold. Love it love it LOVE IT.

[@ruitiago2544]

Amazing video! Just love that Clubman! Well done Nick and Andrew!!!

[@jaimepowell5033]

I got a chance to drive a Mini back in the '70s. Nothing fancy. Just a neighbor's car I did a minor tune up on. It was a bit small for me (6'4".) But, I loved it. Great little car! One of my favorites.

[@roywinchel3620]

Fantastic race.

[@angelsone-five7912]

Epic, very well done.

[@dgordon130]

Mini = Giant killer. 5th in this race? Incredible. Very well done. The sound = make mine Mini. :-)

[@karenvaughan2066]

Brilliant race and result, my first car was a 1275GT in Black Tulip with red stripes, we're making a replica of her. Minis rule!

[@PROTEK123]

That just made me smile....

[@Rlee571]

Great driving and a terrific result

[@Ralph2]

Beautiful job thank you, you put me in the moment.

[@TimHackettAustralia]

I really enjoyed this

[@johnbroomer3285]

I had two when I was young and didn’t need the creature comforts. I have great memories of them. I think when I retire in a few years I’m going to build a fast road car for fun.

[@theondebray]

Lucky I made it to retirement, now rebuilding 1430 Mini to the spec I want, no more cash wasted on carp family holidays, and small enough to fit into parking bays. Can't wait to fire it up.

[@louie1086]

I am a proud owner of a 2013 slowly being modded. Thank you mini.

[@caribstu]

found myself grinning the whole way through.... would Soooooooo love to get a drive at Goodwood.

[@nkhalmizahar]

Paddy hopkirk + mini = world rally champion !!!

[@harryharker9564]

L lived and loved every minute of it

[@samsung50s48]

Mighty mini cooper 💪

[@Sultuxes]

[@JaberAlkhalifa]

That was awesome thank you!!!

[@linusa2996]

[@stevenorthfield4771]

Missed Jordan in btcc last year but this is the nuts 💪

[@alexlamas6324]

Go Swifty!

[@hectormolina6956]

I love mini since 60s

[@davideccles7805]

In 1978-79 Richard Longman won the British Touring car champs in a 1275GT mini clubman, 20 years after the Mini was first released, What other car has done that?? Its like going back in time and getting a 1999 Race Car bring it back to 2019 entering it in a race and saying whats the matter cant you win any more

[@wickiezulu]

The 9 year gap between the Mini's last British Touring car triumph with Alec Poole in 1969 and Richard Longman's in 1978-1979 brings to mind the question of whether the Mini missed out on a potential golden era of success.

[@freek136]

Awesome! You not afraid the steering-wheel will broke of?

[@realMaverickBuckley]

Is the Mini in the same class as the Rover Vitesse V8i?

[@roberthill6216]

Yep. The mini used to race against Ford Falcons in period, in the 60's British Saloon Car Championship.

[@muhammadjefrijamaludin5946]

AJ rocks!

[@j0nj0nz]

Current F1, NASCAR, and auto racing in general, have lost their way. This is real racing before downforce ruined it all.

[@moxietube]

13,00 tis time for beer ;-)

[@preonmodel8354]

Straight to autotrader in search for a mini

[@antr7493]

Minis, Camaros , Capris , Mazdas, all on the same race track. Does he actually have a turn signal on his steering column? Better than Drive to survive

[@colinarnold1248]

can you tell me please is the Mini a 1380cc, and what type of cam are you using

[@jameswarner8038]

What kind of power is this making

[@TheThunderwars]

Around 140 bhp NA.

[@mauriziopescatori4606]

Frankly, I don't see how an OHV 1275 with a 3-bearnig crankshaft can produce 140bhp.The A-series engine will not allow much more than 6500rpm, even in race tune. No crossflow head, no 5 bearing crankshaft, only 2 valves/cylinder.The best ever obtained on a road-legal car was 115bhp by University Motors in the 1970s with 4 Mikuni carburetters and a seriously modified head.

[@richardsracingmad]

It's a shame that Gerry would have to squeeze into a mini, the thought of it haha! - but I bet Nick would get a run for his money. RIP Gerry

My friend had a 1275 gt called Bob it got scrapped in France 2006 what a shame 😢
