--- Quote from: "rollazuki" ---Maybe theres a potential race series there. There would have to be a small off road loop to ensure all the competitors retained mud tyres and floppy suspension tho..............

Now that would be good to watch! :lol:

We did something similar as a demonstration at the Autosport International Show at the NEC this year - INDOORS! :lol:

Four off road racers from the Matador MSA British Off Road Championship raced around an slippery floor with an off road section including two jumps and an axle twister - taken at speed.

We had a full bodied modified production Range Rover with a TVR engine, a Land Rover special that looks like a 90 hardtop with a 5litre V8, a Bowler Wildcat, and a supercharged V8 Simmbugghini buggy.

They did the show three times a day for the four days of the show in front of a crowd of 5000 each time and impressed everyone who watched.  Due to their unrestricted nature they are faster than a WRC car in a straight line and some of the rally stars get upset when a Land Rover 90 can do better donuts than them!!! :shock:

Sort of related, but there used to be a Rally cross spin off which used proper off roaders, anyone know if it still runs?
