Rally-Spec Land Rover Defenders Racing In Robin Hood's 'Hood Tomorrow
Rally-Spec Land Rover Defenders Racing In Robin Hood's 'Hood Tomorrow-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:25

Round 3 of the riotous "Defender Challenge By Bowler" Land Rover rally is going down June 7th at Southwell Racecourse; featuring 44 stage miles in Sherwood Forest.

If you're in the area, try and check it out! Otherwise the rest of us can scan YouTube for highlights on Sunday; no live stream option for this event yet.

Tracks will be dirt roads and loose gravel tracks with stages through the Sherwood Pines. Seven teams will be represented tomorrow, all driving Land Rover Defender 90s modified by Bowler. Race organizers still expect more teams to join in as the series progresses... I guess that means they're not getting too caught up in season-points or anything like that.

Mark Cameron, Global Brand Experience Director, Jaguar Land Rover, said:

"We're extremely pleased with the reaction that the Defender Challenge by Bowler race series has had so far. For a brand new rally series to already have seven registered teams by only the third round is a great achievement and goes to show how well the series has established itself in such a short space of time. It's also clear from the spectator reaction that rally fans are enjoying the added dimension these Bowler-prepared Land Rover vehicles are adding to racing across the UK."

What Do You Want To Know About The 2015 Volvo XC90?
We’ve just managed to snag our first example of the new stateside, and already I think I’m feeling the heady vapors of that which the Swedes would call förtjusning. Well, that what Google Translate says it’s called, anyways. It’s one of the few cars I’ve been in over the past...

Great Things Happen When You Let Land Rovers Be Race Cars
Land Rover Defenders don’t usually go fast. But when they do, they look hilarious, unstoppable, and way too much fun. The , just a flock of bricks flying through the British countryside, is continuing. That means there’s more footage of Defenders racing which obviously, you’re going to want to watch....

It Takes Three Extreme Machines To Flatbed An MRAP With A Blown Tire
It Takes Three Extreme Machines To Flatbed An MRAP With A Blown Tire
The Cougar 6x6 MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) military truck weighs about 35,000 pounds when it’s intact. Even with a chunk missing it still takes an epic tow truck, a specially-built towing tank, and one seriously beefy big rig to haul off. I’m guessing the damage to this MRAP is...

How The Chevy Colorado Diesel Was Americanized: It's More Than Emissions
“Diesel Chevy truck” sounds as American as John Wayne watching Jackass on a phone while he’s eating a hot dog and picking a fight at a baseball game. But even though rumbling in the new and has been around since 2011, it wasn’t actually fit for the U.S.A. until now....

I woke up naked and freezing, stretched around a heater like some desperate, heat-starved lizard with a headache so strong I was sure I’d been put to sleep by a frying pan to the face. A typical morning—until I noticed the Rocky Mountains instead of my Babes & Big Rigs...
