1 Mins read

MINI All4 Racing will be fielding three crews as it heads off for Round 6 of the 2016 FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup at the Hungarian Baja.

This will be the sixteenth year that the Hungarian Baja has featured on the FIA Cross-Country Rally World Cup calendar. The Baja will begin at Óváros Square in Veszprém city before finishing on the foothills of Bakony on Sunday.

Americans Bryce Menzies/Peter Mortensen will be fielding the #1 MINI All4 Racing car. Joining Menzies/Mortensen will be the #2 crew of Finland’s Mikko Hirvonen and France’s Michel Périn and the #5 crew of Dutchmen Erik van Loon/Wouter Roosegar to complete the three MINI All4 Racing crews competing at the Hungarian Baja this weekend.

MINI All4 Racing will be looking to put some mileage on the board for the 2017 Dakar Rally as the rolling landscape of Hungarian Baja will prove to be a severe testbed for all teams competing here on the 13-14 August 2016.
