Looks like Bowler have done it again.........

sadly no sound? I like that it still looks like the donor vehicle

looks like that would be good to watch (i couldnt afford to drive one ) wonder if it will be televised. Im assuming JLR have completed their 'merger' with Bowler now ?

i remember watching a blue Discovery 1 and a blue Freelander 1 ragging round a rally stage at Sherwood Pines a few years back. Was incredible to watch a Disco power sliding round corners and it was a V8 . I think the FL1 was a 2.5 V6 which also sounded amazing

Will they be racing on similar tracks /surfaces as WRC cars or will it be proper off-roading with steep ascents and descents?
To my mind if you're just going around a rally stage, you might as well just use a rally car and not a heavy 4x4.
Maybe something more akin to the Olympic MTB course but with 0.5 m deep fords etc Jules

That blue V6 Freelander was my old one I had built around 2006.

First mod was the genuine M-Sport raised air intake, Mantec sump and exhaust guards.




Then a 2003 facelift, 2" suspension lift and larger tyres. Bespoke roll cage and graphics.



Then a more "rally" look.

Walters Arena (I think) with the Race2Recovery team

14 minutes of pure racing pleasure - WITH SOUND !!!
Ruined by stupid music at the 5.50 mark. Typical.
