by Kris Clewell -
630 kilograms. 120 horsepower. 12-inch wheels. The 1969 Mini Cooper S Mk2 has the tough end of business being on the same grid as Shelby Cobras and Jaguar E-Types. It was there anyway.
Petrolicious embedded with the Mecanicus crew for the 2025 Tour Auto. Five days from Paris to Nice. Blind special stages. Circuit battles at Dijon-Prenois, Anneau du Rhin, Charade, Mont Ventoux. Driver Valentin Simonet put it simply: "You have to steal all the time." They stole a podium. Third in class. Tenth overall.
