Mini JCW GP Nordschleife HOT LAP | fastest small hot hatch | Supertest sport auto 

Temperatures were not perfect: Air: 27 degree Celsius, Track: 53 degree Celsius. The suspension setup of the GP testcar was more like a road setup, than a track focused setup. More: Supertest in sport auto 8/2020.

Driver: „Shift, Shift... F%$iN Shift!“ Automatic Gearbox: „No.“

Genau die richtige Größe, leichter wäre toll, ein wirklich emotionales Auto! Mini, was bist für ein geiles Auto. Vor allem der GP!

It’s hard not to get excited everytime a new Sport Auto Supertest shows up! 👍🏻

If you think 8.04 min is a slow time you might want to check the fastest laptimes list on the nordschleife.

Still an impressive time for a small hatchback. But the 2nd generation GP looks so much nicer to drive, lighter, more agile, in terms of laptime it's quite a lot slower but i'm sure you have a fantastic time driving it compared to the new car with Auto transmission and "safer" handling.

Great looking car but I still think the best looking wheels to ever be put on a hatchback were the ones that came on the 2009 JCW.

sehr schickes teil !

Wo gibt es denn diese Reifen in 225 35 R18 zu kaufen? Nirgendwo hab ich was gefunden ... wahrscheinlich extra für den Supertest gebacken ...

Das Gesamtpaket ist nicht stimmig ,Fahrwerk und Reifen machen keinen guten job und auch das Getriebe schaltet sich zu Tode. Der Motor ist was feines und der Topspeed anfahrt Schwedenkreuz und Döttinger Höhe ist mal ne Ansage .Denke mal mit einem Fahrwerk von KW und besseren Semislicks fällt die 8min Marke.Auch fehlt dem Mini ein vernünftiges Sperrdifferential .

it is still slowet than last gen megane rs???

Eine Trackday-Variante ohne Schalensitze und ohne Handschaltung? Warum?

The gearbox is actually a huge misfit...! The car is slightly disappointing if you ask me....

Is there a video from the type r fk8? Don't find one

it is not faster than a type R I expected that for your specification😔

I think its a sub 8 min car when conditions are right

very good

¿? WAS HE ON AUTOMATIC ALL THE TIME??

Only about 15secs faster than Fiesta Mk8 ST... thought itll be faster...

Tires squeaking very early and g-meter weak indication

Hit 155mph once. Not bad.

I had a mini cooper s and I liked it so much. It was crazy fast and agressive for a 4 seated roadcar. However, GP versions are limited edition, track focused and has to push limits for its class considering the wild character of its regular brother. If GP is Mini's answer to 300bhp+ competition, it must be faster than 2 year old civic type r. A mass produced practical 4-seated citycar without any major compromises(proper rear seats and a practical trunk). If this bigger car could set a laptime of 7:43, I expect GP to hit around 7:35-7:40. Test driver Gebhardt has proven his skills many times on this track so, it is Mini here to blame.

Understeer all over the place... :-(

Other cars laptimes close to 8 min? Would be great to see the comparison based on your tests at the beggining or the end of the video

Mini engineers are going to be very disappointed when the hear about the Type R

Slow...if you know that Civc and Megane (bigger cars, with rear seats) with about the same power have 20ish seconds on Mini GP then it's obvious that this is a big failure... N yes, Golf GTI CS too... 👎🏻

clearly it doesn't like fast curves. too much body movement. it doesn't look confident.

Crazy... when you remember back in the day when Ferrari f355 finish the ring in 8:20 with a v8 and 380hp

Impressive laptime but yet again another boring automatic car.

Hab das letzte mal einen GP auf der Nordschleife mit nem 150 PS (Diesel) A3 gejagt 😂sobald es geradeaus ging war der Weg und in den Kurven hab ich den eingeholt

Here is a typical review of a Cooper Mini Original review: July 4, 2019 This is by no stretch, the worst car on the face of the planet. I say this in all fairness to mini and BMW. I had to have the engine changed four times. The turbo changed 3 times and the transmission changed twice. All with less than 85000 miles on the car. I have spent over $50,000 on this car because my wife loved it and wanted to keep it. I currently still have the vehicle. It still runs after repairing it last but, I paid more to repair it than it is worth (blue book). So I will drive it till it breaks then scrap it. I bought her a brand new Nissan. It has had no issues nor do I expect it to in the near future. I just spent another 2300 on the car to have other "Plastic" components fixed to repair the car to make it usable. However, if I had thought it through I would have taken the car to a scrap yard instead. If I could have given Mini a negative star review I would have. The kicker here is the fact that they "Mini" knowingly sale crap vehicles to the public. Knowing the issues exist but failing to accept responsibility for the shortcomings is truly the real issue that makes me hate them. I feel there are a few things everyone should know. Yes, the mini is a very fun car to drive when it works and while it last. However, this is few and very far between. The cars reliability rating should be sitting in the negative range. I say this because as long as I have owned the car it has sat in the service department more than it has been on the road. I have had lots of awesome rentals over the years though. Thus the reason for the purchase of the new Nissan. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this company that fails to own their mistakes. Instead, you will be left to pay for them if you make the purchase. I recommend any other manufacturer over Mini. I don't say that lightly. I haven't seen one that would provide such an inferior product all while failing to uphold a warranty. Take my advice and RUN from Mini. It is truly a terrible company to deal with. Worst reliability of any car I have owned.

Megane Trophy R did it in 7:40min

Ein Kommentar zum Fahrverhalten wäre noch ganz nett :)

So a Type R is bigger, has 4 seats, is comfortable on the road (relatively), is cheaper and faster. Good work Mini.

Ab Start (alte Boxengasse) bis zur 1. Brücke auf der DöHö (Gantry) bin ich im Touriverkehr 2 Sekunden schneller mit meinem schwächeren R58 JCW Coupé. Mit störendem Verkehr. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7VzjKwMmM0Y.html

I could not watch the whole lap. That looks uncomfortably boring to drive

That's straight up embarrassing

But the Megane RS Trophy r is the fastest

Number 2020 🤐

Rival car the Yaris gr (standard) has done it in 7:54 with cold damp conditions, less power, heavier and had traffic.🤷🏻‍♂️

6:41 me encanta esa curva

Omg 😱 was für Kommentare,🤣🤣🤣

So it’s 20 seconds behind it’s target car and rival the Civic Type R. With a time that bad they shouldn’t have even released it

Anything over 7:45 for this car is disgraceful

Dissapointingly slow lap time considering the numbers involved compared to the Megane/Civic/Golf

Einfach unverständlich wie man in einen Mini GP ein Automatik Getriebe verbauen kann. Fahre den normalen JCW und finde die Handschaltung echt sportlich und knackig. Automatik gerne in einem Langstreckenfahrzeug, aber nicht wenn es um Spaß beim Fahren geht.

Mercedes A45s 7:48

Christian Gebhardt nails it again. Just one little thing, the track is out of focus.

Zu groß, zu schwer, zu unemotional. Mini, was warst du für ein geiles Gerät.

...was ist dass ?? ... heeehh.....

Super gefahren aber das Auto wirkt unharmonisch. Das Video vom Golf TCR ist dagegen sehr harmonisch.

but is not a stock tire

Pure disappointment! So much effort, and only 1 second per kilometer faster, than a jcw pro

It's a pretty slow car if it can't do less than 8 minutes... I don't get all the hype. If you want a fast lap time in a FWD hatch, why not get a Civic R?

Hot lap without roll cage, nice job and useless track car.

Basically like a Golf TCR only less practical less balanced, uglier and with a poorly calibrated automatic transmission. I really wanted to like this GP Mini but its obviously just a cynical marketing exercise by BMW instead of a true drivers car like the GP Minis before it. Such a shame.

Type r time is 7:43.8.

Civic Type R 7.43

Bof 👎

More than 8 minutes ? TOO BAD....... The time of the mini R56 JCW BY KRUMM PERFORMANCE is 7:38 and it has 300 hp too.

Nice lap, Audi RS 3 Please
