Our good friends and partners at BMW Automotive Ireland / Mini Ireland have kindly supplied Cartell.ie with a fantastic race spec car for us to use during the 2011 Cartell.ie International Rally of the Lakes. It will be used throughout the event as the main sponsor car and will be driven on all the stages ahead of the competing rally cars.

The car, a Mini Countryman Cooper D is a sleek eye catching road machine  – decked out in the Cartell.ie livery – and comes equipped with performance John Cooper Works 19″ alloys!

We have placed the Cartell.ie logo on the car and have put the number 37 on it too! This number is special for Mini because Paddy Hopkirk used number 37 when he won the Monte Carlo Rally in a Mini Cooper in 1964. So there’s your rallying trivia for today!
