The videos have been posted on here before, personally I don't see the problem, they are just doing what the cars are designed to do and anyway both cars will probably be involved in huge crashes at crossroads or in the snow if all the youtube Russian crash videos are anything to go by Cheers Ian

Nothing loads of us haven't done at places like Yarwell & Boughrood in the olden days.

Agreed. Rather mild I thought ...certainly nothing there that was a problem for the under-body 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I did wonder if the mudflats & side steps would survive though. I was shouting "floor it" at the driver but he ignored me, only to floor it too late & get stuck. Brute force, ignorance and the car electronic trickery will prevail.

No worse than we have been using our D3/4's in for years.its what they are built for.
Ok, so maybe one or two got a little carried away, but so what. Have fun
Yes DSL, all the offroad event these days are very mild compared to the Boughrood , croisiere and yarwell etc daysDuncan

Seemed pretty good to me and judging by the control the guys had of the front wheels vs direction of travel they are clearly not novices at this!
Didn't like seeing the snap application of a tow strap though with 200 to 300% mire resistance, but glass houses etc…
