It began over five decades ago, when John Cooper’s racing-class version of the Original Mini would go on to dominate the 1960’s race scene, including three historic wins at the legendary Monte Carlo Rally. Since then, MINI has always felt at home on the track, with countless first-place finishes at some of racing’s most prestigious competitions. Today, our passion for Motorsports thrives in many forms – whether it’s rewarding amateur racers on home turf, or developing vehicles and racing programs to lead the pack in some of the world’s most demanding competitions.
As part of our Contingency Awards Program to help promote Canadian Motorsports, MINI Canada provides cash incentives to amateur and professional drivers who race in the Targa Newfoundland and Canadian Rally Championship events. So, if you race a MINI, or you are planning on giving racing a go, you may have a chance to earn some extra rewards.
The Canadian Rally Championship is Canada’s only national rallying series and longest running motorsport series. With stage-format rallies running across the country, drivers take on gravel and iced roads to prove who can rally among the giants. MINI is proud to support the Canadian Rally Championship and its drivers through the MINI Canada Motorsports Sponsorship Program.
Our relentless pursuit of Motorsports excellence is perfectly embodied in today’s lineup of John Cooper Works vehicles. Combining high-performance engines, racing-class components, top-of-the-line hardware, and signature design elements, each and every John Cooper Works MINI exudes a distinctive track-ready character that would surely make its namesake proud.
