European Belgium Spa-Francorchamps track photos
Here are some Friday afternoon entertainment racing photos from European Belgium [Spa-Francorchamps] track I found. I love the dark silver S-Lites - too kewl - and look at how many run them for racing! Schweet.

Can't forget this [recently posted FS] MINI Challenge Belgium racer too! I really like the S-Lites painted dark... very nice.

Thanks Brian. Anything with graphics on a race car go hand in hand with me! I do like the different white and orange centers. Reminds me of the 1991 Projects Racing Services 944 ITS graphics I designed for an old client at Sears Point. We had matching colors and ATS cookie cutter rims. Fun stuff.

Sick photos - Euros definitely know make a race car look kewl! (from a performance perspective the S-"lites" are just dumb, however - but it could be a requirement, as Brian suggested...)
Anyone know what the heck that Daikin car is running in terms of engine, suspension, and/or body parts?! That thing looks unbelievable - I'd love to rail Eau Rogue in that little beast!

Yea, the Daikin Mini is an M3 drivetrain and is rear wheel drive. I must have 50 pictures of this thing. I actually had that body coming to me, but after some serious thinking we knew that to fill the wheel wells would be a disaster unless we did the same thing and made it RWD, so we bagged the idea.
That car was in a serious accident last year and was reassembled and put up for sale for $90K USD.
As I understand it the builder, Qivk, is working on body kits for street Minis.

I bet the JCW MINI Challenge front brakes are manufactured by apracing.com/ as it looks like the "ap" logo is on the top of the caliper in the photo on my page here >>//TSR - MINI Challenge Club Sport race cars or you can see the "ap" logo on the first caliper photo you posted.
Unfortunately, the AP Racing doesn't list the kit for MINI Cooper S application. Most likely it's a BMW M3 kit or similar.

They are very nice indeed, well engineered and trick as ever. Might have to purchase an ex-MINI Challenge Club Sport to get them though! With my driving conditions, I'd think the stock ATE BMW front calipers and dusty ATE OE brake pads are just fine. They stop fine as is. I bet some of the cooling ducts alone would be worth fitting to even a stock Cooper S for occasional track use.
Now, OTH my 3400lb '95 Audi //S6 needed bigger front brakes badly. The OE stock single piston Girling G60 calipers (think same size as our stock MINI Cooper S calipers) would always cook the pads no matter what you had in it. I fixed that problem right up good with a pair of solid Porsche 993 twin turbo big reds.

It certainly would be fun to drive a RWD M3 powered Mini!

Those coilovers are KW 2-way race system. They are about 2660usd, and another 500usd for the adjustable camber plates.
