Bad Obsession Motorsport

Biography

Bad Obsession Motorsport is a Shropshire, England-based race and fabrication workshop run by Nik Blackhurst and Richard Brunning. They are best known for Project Binky, a project to build "the world's fastest Mini" restomod by fitting an original Mini with running gear from an all-wheel-drive turbocharged Toyota Celica GT-Four. Blackhurst and Brunning have filmed the "obsessive" project and released it as a series of videos on YouTube since August 17, 2013. As of November 2025, the "six month" project has been announced as "complete" and no further build videos will be produced. Blackhurst and Brunning have moved to their transporter build, a 1985 Ford Cargo truck.

Channel description

This is the place for all the lunacy and crazy ideas from Bad Obsession Motorsport. We're a leading race and rally car preparation company specializing in projects that are just a little bit mad. Well, maybe a lot mad but you get the point. Follow our adventures with Project Binky, the quest to create a 2 litre, turbocharged, 4WD Austin Mini. We're building a mobile home from home car transporter in the Escargot, and we've built and raced the most entry level car we could get our hands on in Bargain Racement. Also, check out the in-car rally footage from our time in the 205 Challenge.
