The Prodrive WRC Team will be running young Finn Jarkko Nikara at Rally Sweden, this February.
Nikara already drove the MINI WRC car once, in last year's Rally Spain, and finished fifth.
"Nikara's mature performance on the tarmac in Spain was even more extraordinary given it wasn't his favourite surface and that he only had 50km of testing in the MINI prior to the event," said Prodrive's business development directer Richard Taylor.
"He clearly has a great deal of talent and if he can continue from where he left off in Spain, I am sure he can produce another great result."
The former Finnish junior rally champion has entered a total of 13 World Rally Championship events so far in his career.
