Only very small pieces of the tires.and no parts fell off?
Track cars (or all cars, actually) have a linear relationship with weight and time around the course. Linear means that you remove 10lbs from the car and the car is 10lbs faster, remove another 10lbs and the car is now 20lbs faster.Lots of Minis. That’s a surprise to a know nothing like me.
We’re you the only Nissan in that?
(I don’t know what I was looking at)

Nah, the '84 was my friend Peter. I guess the live timing reset for Sunday.We’re you the only Nissan in that?

The hot hatches were very fun to watch, because they all lift a leg when hitting a tight corner at speed, like a dog getting ready to pee.Track cars (or all cars, actually) have a linear relationship with weight and time around the course.

HP is more akin to a logarithmic scale. Add 10HP and you may be 10HP faster, but add another 10HP and you may only be 15HP faster instead of 20. It will keep doing that until it approaches a ceiling that no amount of HP will let you overcome.
So, take a "light" car and add a suspension designed by BMW and it should do fairly well in auto cross.
Wonder if they have a solid axle in the back like 80s VWsThe hot hatches were very fun to watch, because they all lift a leg when hitting a tight corner at speed, like a dog getting ready to pee.
IDK, but it was a common sight for all the FWD hatches - Fiestas, Minis (cooper/clubman/etc), and Mazda 3s.Wonder if they have a solid axle in the back like 80s VWs
I know tires fairly well, and I still had to watch this a dozen times to track it

if i hadnt ended up where i did, i would really have liked to go industrial automation and design and build systems like that.I've been in the Michelin factory in Bridgewater, only saw part of the manufacturing line but the amount of automation that they do there is crazy.
And they're stupid secretive about it. Had to leave my cellphone with security and sign paperwork that I'm not allowed to tell anyone what I saw, and I'm in deep shit if I do
What Asa said. Also the Mini has its wheels set way out at the corners of the car = very stable.
YouTube some people doing stunt tricks and racing really tight corners with them.
