Minis to support the Australian GP
The new Mini Cooper will be used for the celebrity challenge race in Melbourne in March.
The Melbourne GP organizers are also laying on a series of challenge races between Australian legends Peter Brock and Dick Johnson - and their sons James Brock and Steven Johnson. The two will (as always) be driving rival Holdens and Fords. The Brocks will use a 1987 Holden Commodore and the Johnsons a 1989 Ford Sierra.
In recent years Brock has enjoyed an annual "grudge match" with another of his old rivals Allan Moffat.
