As promised X-Raid took their magnificent Mini Countryman, which is shaping up very fast, prepared for 2011 Dakar Rally to Le Creusot proving ground in France for its first shakedown. And here’s a video of the test for those who like to see a Countryman jumping up and down growling in gravel! Not that you will hear much of that growling becasue of the stupid soundtrack. Still, it’s a good 3-minute watch.

hit the jump for the video…
