Before you lies the open road, with its many twists and turns, entrances and exits, and at times a path less used or paved. Your map shows the network of roads that pass through or end at a city or stop. There’s a destination in mind, guided by a general direction that needs to be taken.
Today, we’re celebrating National Day of Motoring, on July 24th, a day launched by MINI USA, the manufacturer of the Cooper, for the pure joy of driving for fun. At first, MINI encouraged their owners to take part in a nationwide rally to complete tasks and check in at certain stops along their route. Then it grew beyond the brand to include classic and modern cars. This day is meant for drivers and their passengers to explore new roads and destinations and share in the experience.
We’re playing tracks from video games that evoke the sense of motoring: a rally to one of five destinations, a racing adventure in Mexico, and a circuit of tracks across various countries. There’s also remixes to follow each of these original tracks.
Time to shift into Drive and hit the gas!
