DRIVEN gets inside look at X-raid's fleet of Dakar MINI ALL4 Countrymans

[Mark at Pelican Parts]

This is a fantastic video of the incredibly successful X-raid factory in Germany, where the all-conqurring MINI Dakar Countrymans are assembled and campaigned. DRIVE Network's JF Musial takes you inside the factory for an exclusive look at the MINIs and the immense detail that goes into each of them in order to complete the most grueling rally held anywhere in the world.

Three-quarters into the video, there's excellent in-car footage demonstrating the working environment inside the cockpit of the Countryman. It's safe to say that in the heat of the battle during Dakar, that same work environment is much more violent and tense!
