They've basically taken 2 minis and welded them up for a limo style look. That plus a 2.0L TD looks to be an interesting cocktail.

Tune in now to see the blue beasty in action (or not in action due to their engine seizing earlier) :D

Would a standard mini shell have done any better? Say if you raised the ride hight big tyres on the front to try and get some grip? Or maybe if they had moded a standard shell to be rear wheel drive?

If they were running with an A series it might not have like the wet and the big puddle very much! Do you think the rules say that they cant enter in a standard car or was there just a price limit?
