National Rally Recap

National Rally Recap3 Aug37 min

<p>Steve Beres and Ike Goss are joined by Linus and special guest Alex Massy to cover Land Rover news and recap the Land Rover National Rally in Ouray, Colorado. They discuss JLR cutting 300 jobs and a UK leadership shuffle after a cyberattack, the end of the Discovery Sport, and a Monterey Car Week auction of a one-of-one matched pair: a restored 1993 Range Rover Classic and a 2027 Range Rover SV Ultra, estimated at $750,000–$950,000. The group recounts driving from Oregon, tire and emissions issues with modern tow vehicles, high-altitude trail runs up to 13,000 feet, the beauty of Ouray and nearby mining towns, and monsoon rains that caused mudslides, closed trails, and led many attendees to leave early. They highlight event amenities, presentations, and a Camel Trophy film night.</p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Show Intro And Hosts</p><p>01:18 Guests And Rally Tease</p><p>02:00 JLR Job Cuts Talk</p><p>03:44 Discovery Sport Cancelled</p><p>05:57 Monterey Range Rover Pair</p><p>08:16 Auction Price Guessing</p><p>12:36 Rally Trip Begins</p><p>15:53 Road Trip Mishaps</p><p>17:52 Trails And Elevation</p><p>18:19 Carb Trouble at Altitude</p><p>19:02 Ouray Views and Town</p><p>19:35 Rally Car Mix Shifts</p><p>21:48 Monsoon Mudslides</p><p>23:25 Camping and Trail Logistics</p><p>24:49 Alex Highlights Mining Ruins</p><p>27:09 Shoutouts and Trophy Defender</p><p>29:53 Vendors Classes and Camp Movie</p><p>33:04 Destination Defender Roast</p><p>34:59 Wrap Up and Credits</p>
