And their handling style is very similar, very much an on rails, wheels in line style if driving, they're very advanced as far as rally cars go. It’s crazy how much R5 cars have developed. They are now as quick, if not quicker than a 2011 Spec Fiesta WRC. The speed of rally car development in general has long astonished me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P308R 28 Posted January 30, 2019 That doesn't seem like a Mini or does it? What car could it be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P308R 28 Posted January 30, 2019 Well the grill doesn't match and also the emblem in the middle. Something the mini doesn't have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtstt 2,387 Posted January 30, 2019 That's odd. The silhouette looks like a Mini but, as said above, the grill doesn't look right. The grill reminds me of the early Octavia there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallystu2 715 Posted January 30, 2019 Maybe the graphics haven't popped in yet fully, giving an illusion of something it isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P308R 28 Posted January 30, 2019 I don't think so @Rallystu2 because the graphics don't change and we have been able to confirm multiple cars by this method before. Still think it is strange and it could be another 60's class car.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X990IuV5TjkLooking at it multiple times it most likely is the mini but not 100% sure.

Rallystu2 715 Posted January 30, 2019 I agree it presents in an unusual way. But i can't think of a viable alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P308R 28 Posted January 30, 2019 Yeah I can't think of another 60' car that would fit in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rallystu2 715 Posted January 30, 2019 The more I look, the more I see other cars. There's bits of Saab 96 about it, there's bits of ford cortina about it but, there's lots of mini about in imo. Anyone think of a possible alternative? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P308R 28 Posted January 30, 2019 I've checked some italians but I couldn't find a direct match. Something that comes close is thisBut still, it isn't a frontwheel drive or is it? Grill is too small but there seem to be different Healeys around. Second thing, the car in the video has a white color, Mini never had that or did they? To answer, yes they did in the 60ties.but...or...Triumph / Sunbeam? Nah...or....if....nah...maybe...nah... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodgerDavies 933 Posted January 30, 2019 I think it's the Mini, but there was mention by Jon in an early interview of starting in an easy car like the Abarth. That said, it looks more like the Mini than this. It's unfortunate that the class is limited to FWD as a lot of contemporaries were RWD.https://www.google.com/search?q=abarth+a112+rally&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdr9Lzs5XgAhVTShUIHXWoBU0Q_AUIDigB&biw=1680&bih=922 ?

Rallycameraman 241 Posted January 30, 2019 Definitely a Mini. Willing to bet my steelbook on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 30, 2019 If it´s not a Mini then my best guess is Alfa Romeo or maybe Saab if Sweden DLC :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oscar97 25 Posted January 30, 2019 Well, the class is just H1 FWD, not 60's FWD. And nothing really prevents them from creating a H1 RWD class either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get your hopes up guys, it's probably a mini with a mid-mounted foglamp (with a black cover on the lamp itself) I'd say that's a Mini. But it kind of reminds me of one of the most beautiful rally cars of all time.
