Brilliant. I feel like they would only have let the Land Rover win though.
I'd have thought if they were going to let something (British) win, it would have been the Range Rover?. But it seems inconceivable that the Land Rover did it quicker than the Rangey, with the latter having much more power, much more torque, and (coil sprung) suspension supple enough to tackle the bumpy stuff at a higher speed (than the leaf sprung Landy). But I guess it may simply have had tyres more suited to the conditions?
I was pleased to see the plucky Russian complete the course though!. Also the fact that the Subaru and Renault were only thwarted by that last 1 in 2 slope is very impressive in itself (especially for the 40hp Renault!).
