The racecar is being entered by Eifel-based team Bulldog Racing. Using a MINI John Cooper Works 3-Door as a base vehicle, the racecar is said to utilise the 2.0-litre 302bhp engine from the MINI John Cooper Works Clubman and MINI John Cooper Works Countryman.
An eight-speed Steptronic gearbox is paired to a mechanical differential lock on the racecar, which will compete in the SP3T class during the race.
Other modifications to the vehicle include the addition of a safety cage, an increase in its fuel tank volume, and the use of a racing suspension. The car has also received aerodynamic modifications including the addition of an adjustable rear wing, a completely covered underbody, as well as a rear diffuser and front splitter.
