Following the arrival of the new MINI generation, the different variants are slowly making their appearance, though some will no longer be offered. The New MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) will be making its first public appearance at this year’s 24 Hours of Nurburgring on June 1, although the global launch will actually be during the early part of the fourth quarter of 2024.
So the car will run in the event with a bespoke camouflage designed by the MINI Design Team. This camouflage pays homage to the iconic red and white colour schemes used for classic Minis in motorsports in the 1960s.
Referencing the Mini’s historic victory of the Mini Cooper S at the 1964 Rallye Monte Carlo 60 years ago, the racing car features a distinctive ‘37’’ logo, commemorating this milestone achievement.
The New MINI JCW #317 will be entered by the private racing team from Nurburg, Bulldog Racing, and will be competing in the SP 3T category. There will also be a second entry by the black MINI JCW #474 manual transmission, which showcased its prowess by securing a podium finish at last year’s 24 Hours of Nurburgring.
