Mini Challenges Porsche To A Race, Porsche Considering It

Re: MINI Challenges Porsche to a race!

this will be interesting.

but this also reminds me of the mentality some smaller engined car drivers have., that I have personally encountered. They aggressively goad you into having a street race with them, knowing that they have nothing to lose. If they win, they get perpetual bragging rights. If they lose, they really have nothing to lose since their car is smaller to begin with. btw I never get myself bothered with such drivers.

After Porsche REFUSES to race....

Dear Jim,
Imagine our surprise to discover our former employee, now the head of Mini, has challenged us to a head-to-head race. As you surely know, Porsche has a long history of racing success, with more than 28,000 wins over the last 60 years. In our early days, we pitted ourselves against the giants, so we've been in your shoes.
But as you also know, Porsche doesn't race for fame, stunts or publicity. We race to challenge ourselves; we race to push sports car technology; we race to translate every win on the track to our cars on the road.

While your challenge seems like a fun and lighthearted campaign, we'll stick to racing the way we have over the decades. We welcome you at Sebring, Le Mans, Daytona or any other sanctioned race where there is more at stake than T-shirts and valet parking spaces. We also invite you to any of the thousands of tracks around the world where Porsche owners compete each weekend.
Good luck with your race at Road Atlanta on June 21; we hope you enjoy the day.
Sincerely,
Detlev Von Platen
President and CEO, Porsche Cars North America

MINI is now RECHALLENGING Porsche with more at stake then T-shirts and parking spaces!!!!
