Mini wins the Dakar for the 4th straight year

The Dakar is commonly considered one of the toughest rallies on earth over and through dunes, dust, mud and other difficult terrain of some 5,600 miles spanning three countries across South America.

More than just winning, the 5 spot podium was 4 for 5 this year all Mini, and last year was Mini in all 5 spots. Ya gotta respect that level of commitment to winning the race, and putting a lot of cars into the contention
