MINI WRC Team All Set for 2011 WRC

Ahead of the World Rally Championship in Germany, it seems that it has gathered the much needed attention from media across the world. Comprises of three stages in areas, the vineyards, the military training ground and the normal roads, it provides a daunting task for the participating teams.

It has been reported that for the third stage of the 2011 WRC tour, the MINI WRC team is getting ready to take on a brand-new test: Asphalt. With this, the lead drivers Dani Sordo and Kris Meeke would be anticipating something big in the event.

“I always remember the military training area of Baumholder, as there are some very big rocks there so you have to be careful not to get punctures. I particularly enjoy driving in the vineyards as these roads are narrow and fast”, said Sordo.

Deciphering the circuit’s challenging surface conditions, the drivers have mentally prepared themselves through long grilling hours of training for the rally ahead.

Even the team Principal, David Richards, has all words of appreciation for the two drivers who have assured him about their confidence in the Rally.

In contrast to Finland, where the team was focused to get valuable competitive mileage on the car, they would be focused to demonstrate the true performance of the MINI in Germany.
