Customer Mini to compete from Portugal

The first customer-run Mini will join the World Rally Championship before the works team this year, with Brazilian Daniel Oliveira set to begin his campaign on Rally Portugal in March. The 25-year-old Brazilian, who competed in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge in 2010, has agreed a deal with Prodrive to enter a Super 2000-spec Mini on the third event of the WRC season, before switching to a WRC-spec version later in the year. Oliveira will be co-driven by Portugal's Carlos Magalhaes, the pair having driven together in the IRC last year
