Recently, the BMW Group's MINI brand announced that the MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS racing car will return to the Nürburgring 24 Hours of Endurance Racing. According to the uncle of the car, the Nürburgring 24-hour endurance race has a total length of 25.378km, including two parts, Nuennan and Nuuk, with a maximum height difference of 300m, known as "Green Hell", and participating in this event means that MINI JCW and racing drivers are ready to accept the harsh challenge.
This year is the 50th edition of the Nürburgring 24 Hours of Endurance, which will be held from May 26 to 29, when MINI JCW will compete with many SP3T masters, so how strong is MINI JCW? The car is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a maximum horsepower of 306 Ps, a peak torque of 450 N·m, a production 8-speed Steptronic transmission, and an integrated mechanical differential lock with a locking effect of up to 70%.
At the same time, the participating vehicles have undergone track-specific modifications, equipped with a special racing cockpit, adjustable rear wing, full underbody surround, rear diffuser, front shunt plate, lightweight polycarbonate windows, and the fuel tank volume has been increased to 100L, a series of adjustments to make the MINI JCW car have a better track performance.
