If I remember well, you can adjust the rear wing on the Mini. You have very few adjustments for this car so it should be pretty close. But top speed is not all. Some might reach the top speed earlier as they exit better from the corner before. In the end some are still faster than others around the track… even if the racing is pretty close with the Minis!

Just a thought... What about replacing the Mini with the low-end Caterham that is about to be released from the Brit Pack? Just a thought...

Richie Speed · Oct 3, 2016

I would agree in moving to a low end Caterham, would be great fun.

RustyDriver00 · Oct 3, 2016

But then it wouldn't be Mini challenge......

Daniel Monteiro · Oct 3, 2016

... thus it'd be renamed the Caterham Challenge

You're welcome

RaceDepartment MINI Challenge Season 10
After a successful ninth season the MINI Challenge returns to RaceDepartment for a tenth season for a six round online championship on Friday nights. Thirty of the most committed pilots will make for a full one division series for single drivers. This years edition will be mimmicking the MINI Challenge UK.

The Car
The MINI John Cooper Works in the PC Simulator AUTOMOBILISTA by Reiza Studios closely simulates the car used in the MINI Challenge. A car which puts out 211 horsepower, only weighing 1150 kilogram and has no traction control but a low level of ABS. This guarantees for super close racing!
