Mini United 2011 to take place in …

MINI just announced, that Mini United (MU2011) will take place in France. Many of us were waiting for this announcement for almost half of the year, because Mini United 2009 was announced far in advance and all planning to visit had enough time to prepare.

This year MINI decided to make us a surprise. The most frequent names MINI fans heard were Barcelona (Spain) and Le Mans (France) – both far enough for any European.

Recent status update on Facebook page of Mini United tells, that it’s officially happening in the South of France sometime near the end of summer. I.e. August 2011.

Dimitri Grigoriev in comments says, that “There seems to be only one race track in the south of France and it is Curcuit d’Albi”

So, not exact enough, but at least place and time frame are known.

Euro NCAP published on their YouTube Channel video of crash test of MINI Countryman. As expected – 5 stars. Dashboard, as it is in “normal” MINI is dangerous, but kids are absolutely safe. Front of the car is also safer, because it is higher. Full results you can see on Euro NCAP web site.

After Misano/Italy and Zandvoort/Netherlands, MINI is celebrating the third MINI United Festival from 22-24 May 2009 in the land of its birth. Silverstone/UK with its legendary racetrack will be next year’s setting for the largest MINI fan event ever celebrating the brand’s 50th birthday.

MINI lovers, most of whom will be travelling in their own cars from countries all over the world, can look forward to the unique mixture of an exciting show programme, motorsport action and a music festival.

In addition to music show acts, stunt shows, go-karting, lounge areas and DJs, the MINI community will also be able to experience a huge exhibition which will take MINI fans through the whole history of the brand. The MINI CHALLENGE will also be part of the festival again, moving into its third and fourth heat in front of an international audience. Also the Mini Seven Racing Club will increase the excitement on the course by organizing a race with 50 classic Mini race cars. In addition, it will be possible for people to drive a few laps on the racetrack, either alone or with a MINI CHALLENGE driver. There will be lots of bars, kiosks and restaurants providing a plentiful supply of food and drink. And for those looking for children’s entertainments, the Kids’ Area will once again provide plenty of activities, from bobby-car racing and climbing to body-painting.
