 Safari Type 3: The first 2020 Mini 4WD Sport event

The 2020 Dakar rally held in Saudi Arabia has just come to an end, as every year countless teams coming from all around the globe fought for the victory during 5000km of special stages, in a race considered the queen of rally-raid.

Thierry Sabine founder of this legendary competition, used to describe it with this simple phrase:
“a challenge for those who dare, and the dream for those who stay”.

The first 2020 Mini 4WD Sport event wants to pay his tribute to the world of rally-raid and to the craziness that characterized car’s projects from ‘80s. February 23rd in Rome “Safari Type 3” is going to be held, an off road race 2Km long reserved only to Type 3 chassis, the most iconic Mini 4WD Chassis produced back in 1989.


For those who are going to take part in this competition, the race begun before positioning their Mini 4WDs on the starting grid.
Type 3 Chassis has a short wheelbase and a high centre of gravity, furthermore it has some weaknesses: the left side bearing holders, and the fragile central wings.
The modeling skills of the racers are going to be crucial in order to solve this problems and get to the finish line after 2Km of hard off road race.
