One week prior to its first real tests in Portugal with former World Champion Marcus Gronholm, the new MINI Countryman of the World Rally Championship had its first shakedown in Great Britain.

This first run was performed on Prodrive’s private test roads in Warwickshire on tarmac, but also on loose surfaces.

The car is now on its way to Portugal, for a week of testing on gravel roads with Marcus Gronholm.
