BMW boasts that their MINI cars have go-kart like handling. Well, we just had to find out for real! Using professional drivers, WebRidesTV pitted the new 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman S up against a custom-built, 9hp, Honda engine go-kart. Drivers go head to head on the indoor race track at Dromo One in Orange, California. Check out the tight race after an in-depth review of the new Clubman S. …

March 24th, 2009

March 24th, 2009

March 24th, 2009
this host looks like he needs a good cockslap..which he would probably enjoy

125cc Shifter at Mosport?
March 24th, 2009
they should have just ran three laps separately becauce their is no room for the mini to pass the gocart… they should have just compared times… thats what i think anyways
March 24th, 2009
yeah right
March 24th, 2009
Ok, they are taking a vehicle with regular tires on a go kart track that has a special surface. Stupid much.
Also the Austin Mini Clubman is like from the ’70s BMW just redesigned the classic Cooper
March 24th, 2009
this is a stupid challenge because there isn’t enough room for the mini cooper. it looked like the go kart was going to get run over.
March 24th, 2009
Hey thats Dromo One!!!! I love that track
March 24th, 2009
That kart has 9 hp. Use a real racing kart, even in a real race track, and it will kick the Cooper´s ass…
March 24th, 2009
ahahahah….so funny.
March 24th, 2009
Now thats cool!! Show me another car that handles like that on such a tight circuit!!

The video isn’t about who would cross the finish line first. It was about which one has more “go-kart” handling.
To quote: “MINI seems to be particularly proud of one feature of the Clubman and that’s it’s go-kart like handling. Well I call bullshit on that!”
Using that criterion I would say the go-kart won, meaning that it seemed to handle more like a go-kart!
Yes Clubman crossed the finish line first but it didn’t seem to have as much go-kart like handling as an actual go-kart.

The go kart won, you seppo idiot.
March 24th, 2009
ugly big mini (loke the normal better) cool video
March 24th, 2009
Now the Mini Cooper looks big …
March 24th, 2009
I meant that the handling would be better, you dope.
After all, th epoint of the video was to see if the MINI handles like a go-kart, wasn’t it.
I still say it’s just another dumbass video with nothing to offer and you are just a nother dumbasss Youtube commenter with nothing to offer either.

Man you are a complete idiot. Did you even watch the video? The go-kart did not win. I think you are just another dumbass who doesn’t know right from left. The video is to show whether or not the Mini “handles” like a go-kart. Not to see whether it can “beat” it. Yeesh, jackass.

I drive a Clubman and I wouldn’t trade it for anything, (except maybe and EV1!).
Of course the go-kart won. They are on a little go-kart track with no room to maneuver and no straightways to speak of!
The same go-kart on the same track would beat any car out there because there is no room for a car to get to speed without going right over the go-kart.
Just another dumbass car show with nothign to offer.
The Clubman may not be right for you. Maybe you are not right for the Clubman.
March 24th, 2009
I’d still take a go-kart over a Mini lol
March 24th, 2009
looks so funny when the mini’s chasing the Go-kart
March 24th, 2009
that car looks like ass!
March 24th, 2009
Sweet video! i am surprised the clubman driver didn’t run over the go-kart driver on the track… i would have been tempted… (-:
