  • ►In FCP Euro's "MINI Cupper" project, the team sets out to challenge everything you think you know about motorsport. Can building a street car that doubles as a race car be…affordable?
    Taking a ~$2000 base model R56 MINI Cooper purchased from a scrapyard, some tools, and a full trunkload of quality parts from partners Bilstein and CRP Rein Automotive, the team arrives at Lime Rock Park for GRIDLIFE Circuit Legends with a single goal-drive the car in stock trim for a full day, build the car overnight, and attempt to dethrone the Hondas at the top of the class.
    Will the rapid-built MINI Cupper reign supreme as the new class leader for Sundae Cup? Watch to find out!

      Usually they’ll sell a couple things off the car and subtract the profits from the total cost

      @daviscoady1999 I understand that premise but that certainly did not happen here

      The art of bargaining! Made much easier when the car is on the scrap lot due to a rotten subframe.

    Click baited to think they could build a car for Sundae Cup for $2000. They might have paid $2000 for the car. Then dropped another $10k just to get it to what we see running around the track. This car was crusty brickle underneath.

    • @fcpeuro-media
      @fcpeuro-media  5 месяцев назад +2

      We certainly wouldnt reccomend anyone tracking a car without it being safe/having the basics first. Minus maintenance, and not including required safety, this ended up still being an insanely low barrier to entry for motorsport. We are compiling the cart to share for visibility for people interested!
