Dani Sordo, however, was a little more circumspect when quizzed on MINI’s approach in 2011. "In our first season in the WRC we aim to collect as much experience as possible to be in a position to attack in the second year."

The ex-Citroen factory driver adds: "To not contest all rallies feels a bit strange for me at present, but this is [MINI’s] first season in the WRC. We plan to learn as much as possible in 2011 in order to move the car to the sharp end as soon as possible."

"We need to fine-tune all technical aspects of the car for the different events. I already have a very good impression of the car. Now we need to concentrate on those vital but minor items that make a difference on rallies [and] gain a good feeling for the car," concludes the Spaniard.
