i remember back when i was a kid, 20 years ago or something
some dude entered a 308 rally car in the 24 hours of Ypres... professional team and all that
and the only reason why anybody remembers it, is be cause it was the the slowest thing of the whole weekend...
it's one thing to be slow in a rally , but it's another thing to be slow with a car that expensive, and to be overtaken by the local pub teams with beat up low cost little ford escorts (not even talking escort RS'es)

and from the looks of it, the above example would run into trouble real soon on the roads here, just like the one 20 years ago did... ground clearance....race track clearance won't cut it on farm roads
