Although there's no mention of what changes were made under the hood, according to the site, a John Cooper Works (JCW) exhaust is fitted and the new rear spoiler will be an option for the Clubman come 2008. The obvious changes to ride height would imply that some serious suspension tweaks were in order, while the new front and rear diffuser could foretell the future of JCW-equipped Clubmans.<br /><br />You can read over our previous posts about the MINI JCW Challenge racer <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/09/12/frankfurt-2007-new-john-cooper-works-car-is-most-challenging-mi/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/14/frankfurt-preview-minis-track-prepped-john-cooper-works-challe/">here</a>, and check out more shots of the Clubman safety car <a href="http://www.motoringfile.com/2007/10/05/mini-challenge-safety-car/">here</a>.<br /><br />[Source: MotoringFile]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/05/2008-mini-challenge-series-clubman-safety-car-fastest-clubman-t/">2008 MINI Challenge Series Clubman safety car, fastest Clubman to date</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:29:00 EST.
