The two BMW Sauber F1.09s are racing in Monaco with birthday greetings to celebrate MINI’s 50th anniversary: The engine cover is branded “Happy Birthday MINI”, the rear wing “MINI turns 50”.
At the same time more than 15,000 MINI enthusiasts are celebrating the MINI United Festival 2009 in Silverstone (Great Britain). At this event there will not only be MINI Challenge races, but also a race with historic MINI cars. In 1964, the legendary runabout won Rally Monte Carlo.
