Have we fixed the Mini GP3's flaws? Evolve vs Stock with

With any project car we try to push the platform to be the best it can, either by improving where budgets were clearly tightened or focusing the car on to a more specific task.
With the GP3 we loved how it was out on track, but its road manners left us missing our Cooper S! Over the year we have owned it we have worked towards making our GP3 the car we really wanted it to be. As you modify a car over time you start to forget what the base car was like, so we felt it was time for a refresher.
This is where our friend Peter Greaves, better known as ‪@PetrolPed‬ comes in - One of the main Mini aficionado's in the UK, he borrowed Mini UK's press GP3 and we put it head to head with our Evolve GP3, what did he think of the car? Watch on to find out!

The production value of Evolves videos are amazing, the scenery, the camara angles, the sound etc. is top class. And a big thanks to Petrol Ped's insight on the GP3, he is definitely one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to Mini.

Great video, really interesting to see what the guys at Evolve have done to improve it for road use. I can’t help but think if your money would be better spent on a FK2 Type R if you want something fast and front wheel drive. Honda have nailed front wheel drive on there latest cars. Keep the great content coming.

I’m now on my 3 mini gp3 and I still live that it’s this stiff. Haha but I’m from a younger generation so maybe that helps 🤣 I drove my first one daily till 112.000km and my second one till 89.000km and now my 3 one is coming in this week 🚀. In my opinion really the best all round car ever made 💪🏻🚗💨

Hello from a random MINI fan! Really thinking about purchasing one of these down here in Florida for my daily! Any advice on what to look for and or pricing? If your on your third then you must love it!!!

@martijnjorritsma 2 ай бұрын

@@manion133the price must be different for the USA. Because we have a lot of tex that go on the cars in Holland. The most important thing to look at is the comfort pack that’s on the gp. When the car was produced they had one version with heated seats, climate control, navigation, front and back heated window. And the non comfort version did not have this. That was a more track focused version. So if your looking at buying one look for those options

The only flaw of the Mini GP3 is that I could only afford to buy one of them... if I could afford it I would get two... why? I don't know this car is AWESOME! What I like is that the car is like a wild horse that needs to be tamed, I cannot just hop in it and drive fast right away like I could with my previous cars... I have to work at it and learn the car and I love that.

@@EvolveAutomotive Thanks for your rapid response. This size should be fine on a stock GP3 with stock wheels and standard ride height ? It’s nearly +1” in overall circumference?

Yes, our 6Sixty wheels are stock sizes in every way. Additional ride height would only add more clearance. We had no issues with the increased diameter.

BMW Mini have done a GP special edition for each generation. It's more an 'ultimate' Mini, something for the die hard fans of the brand than one I believe they are truly pitching as a product. You are correct the FK8 is a terrific offering, but it's a class above the Mini.
