Here's a great video of Minis at the 7 hour Bathurst race in Australia in 1966.   

LOTS and LOTS of Mini footage.    As usual, David vs. Goliath battles.   

I won't tell you what car won, but I think you might be able to guess.



1988 Austin Mini
2002 MINI Cooper S
1992 Toyota LiteAce (JDM)
1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara

Ah, was thinking it was going to be a modern day race, was delighted to see 60's era. So much fun!
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson

Here's a more modern race, 20 years later than the one above.  It's still in Oz, but not at Bathurst.   Minis battling bigger cars again.
