Once it was realised how incredibly well the Mini handled, the famous Grand Prix team, John Cooper Racing, became involved and produced a succession of performance models.These then went on to many, many successes in rallying (the Monte Carlo being the most famous) as well as road circuits.The Mini's fantastic handling combined with an excellent power-to-weight ratio made them a force to be reckoned with while competing against much bigger and more powerful machinery. Size isn't everything!
