- A friend is buying a Mini, and wants to autocross it. What's the best option-package (most competitive) for a Mini? I guess it has all these options, like five-point harnesses (??) and the like, and

- For the base model Mini, there is a sport package which includes the "S" version's sport suspension and sporty seats. Besides that, I would recommend eschewing all options to save weight. There may b
