The celebrations continued well into the evening yesterday, as guests of MINI’s WRC Team launch were treated to an exuberant display of hooning by factory drivers Kris Meeke and Dani Sordo.

Earlier in the day the final version of the MINI John Cooper Works WRC was unveiled, lining up alongside the Classic Mini Cooper S and its veteran drivers Paddy Hopkirk (GB), and Rauno Aaltonen (FI).

Without further ado, take the opportunity to indulge yourself in three videos produced from the event. Given MINI’s track record of producing laugh-out-loud viral videos, I wonder if Ken Block and his Gymkhana series are in for some competition…?
