Due to high price of gasoline and the environment protection problem, more and more people focus on the mini-cars, as the vehicles' lower running costs and fuel usage won more sales in the world, especially in Japan.
Date shows that every 2.14 households in Japan owns at least one mini-car compared with every 2.18 households a year earlier. The vehicles, powered by engines no larger than 0.66 litre, are most widespred in the largely rural Tottori prefecture in southwest Japan, and the demand for mini-cars is rising in the countryside, where limited public transport encourages vehicle ownership.
What is your opinions? Do you like a mini-car?

The Mini Car Championship is a special video game tournament in Bristol, CT. The tournament was founded in September, 2003, and runs today. The tournament is the next thing to NASCAR, just a few altered rules and regulations, and is done by NASCAR videogames, rather than actually driving. It does not have a strict schedule, like the NASCAR circuit does. Due to this, the tournament is currently in year 2011 (or its 9th season), rather than the fiscal year. There are 24 races in the schedule that make up one season, with 4 non-points races. The roster of players has increased from 27 in 2003, now to 50. The video game used was recently switched from NASCAR 07 to NASCAR Thunder 2004 because NASCAR Thunder 2004 has more standard drivers to use (40) than NASCAR 07 (35). This way, more of the drivers can race more often. Also, the official game used for the tournament starting in 2007 will now be the computer game NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. This is because NASCAR Racing 2003 Season allows different paint schemes through different seasons to be used all in the same race, which is very useful seeing how the drivers in the MCC have different paint schemes from different year
