Mini challenges Porsche to a race...
 
In its second attempt to challenge Porsche to a race at Road Atlanta, Mini hired an airplane to tow a banner over Porsche’s North American headquarters in Atlanta on Monday morning.

The banner, which read, “Dear Porsche, Bring it! Love, MINI” flew over Porsche’s location on Hammond Drive (Atlanta, GA.)

That's kinda a fun little story. I'd bet Porsche looked up Mini's track times at Road Atlanta and then looked at their own before deciding to turn it down...

Yeah, but I do think it would be interesting to see the two stock, road cars go it as as well though.

Maybe we'll get an episode on Top Gear with "The STIG" in the Mini and Jeremy Clarkson in the Porsche... That would be an entertaining episode.
