With more than 40 rally victories from 1962 to 1969, the mini cooper S quickly imposed its prestige and notoriety against its competitors. From victory to victory, BMC and its mini become formidable adversaries. In 1966, when the pre-race technical verifications (Monte Carlo rally) were finished, the four Mini entered hit the road. Three of them take the victory but a scandal breaks out: the first four cars are downgraded for “non-compliant lighting”. Many are those who will justify this scandal by the will of the French to rule out the possibility of another victory for the formidable Mini Cooper S.
