SRO Motorsports Group is one of the United States’ rapidly growing sanctioning bodies for marque- and tech-specific road-course competition, largely aimed at drivers aspiring to higher things. SRO enjoys extensive manufacturer support, including BMW-owned MINI USA, which is returning to the Touring Car (TC) and Touring Car A (TCA) categories with a brace of cars from its John Cooper Works Team subsidiary.
Returning to the team this are Cristian Perocarpi driving the number 37 MINI JCW PRO in the TC class, along with P.J. Groenke driving the number 62 MINI JCW in the TCA class. Perocarpi and Groenke will be joined by newcomer Scott Thomson, driving the number 66 MINI JCW PRO in the TC class. SRO rules ensure that all of these are strongly production-based cars. The renewed MINI effort also commemorates the marque’s 60th anniversary of its first win in the Monte Carlo Rally back in 1964.
