Peter Baldwin is a name synonomous now with Mini Racing, and rolling road tuning. He is arguable one of the best rolling road experts out there, as well as a seasoned racer. And at over 70 years old, he was back out in his Mini Miglia this last weekend, showing how it should be done. With 2 pole positions, a 1st place in the first race (which he won by nearly 8 seconds) and a 2nd place in the second race, it just goes to show experience counts. Yes, strictly speaking this is a video link, but many won't realise Peter was back racing, and its more about the achievement than the video itself. Enjoy!

No, not the whole season. His car isn't out this year unless he drives it, or someone is in the position to take up the drive.
