MINI fans will be pleased to know that Frenchman, Stephane Peterhansel is leading the Dakar Rally in Argentina!

Check this out from smh:

France’s Dakar Rally legend Stephane Peterhansel took the overall lead in the car section in Argentina on Wednesday after winning the fourth stage, a 326km special from San Juan to Chilecito.

The 46-year-old Mini driver – a six-time Dakar motorcycling champion and three-time car winner – had endured a miserable day on Tuesday when he had suffered two punctures but on Wednesday it was the turn of Qatar’s defending champion Nasser Al-Attiyah to have a nightmare.

The 31-year-old’s Hummer broke down after 288km of the stage and only got going again after a 15 minute stop.
