In this latest MINI United interview we get an exclusive sit down with Dr. Kay Segler, MINI brand vice president. We talk MINI United. Motorsport, and the new MINI Challenge race car among other things. The latter will be the big take-away for many of you. Listen closely as Dr. Segler talks about the “new heart” of the MINI that will debut with the MINI Challenge car and that will eventually make it’s way to a new JCW product. All fascinating stuff for those of us who follow the brand.

db and Todd interview Shaun Ticehurst from MINI about MINI United 2007
He fills us in on the history of the event, why it started and what we can expect for this year. We tried to get him to spill the beans on what the “special” event will be, but no dice. I would imagine that you could guess what we think it might be.
