Just wondering if anybody is running any comp spec Disco's. Beefed up Defenders and Rangies are starting be seen in a few of the hard comps and winch challenges but you do not seem to see any Disco's yet, and I wonder why not. A few of you guys / gals on this forum have some well sorted Discos that may give the other brands a run for their money.
I think in the last ARB winch challenge there were a 2 or three Discos from the USA entered but thats all I know about them.

The plan is I will eventually more likely a D1 2 door

Possibly mine but I wouldn’t mind an external Skelton on rover prior any comp ;)

Nah mate, mines not going to be comped.
Don't have the time / cash to do it properly.

I've raced before so I realise the $$ & time involved.

I'd love to to VicWinch in it but probably won't happen.

There are a few in the UK but not many in Aus

There was one dude in VicWinch Last year in a Turquise/Green disco with LRA & Rangie Spares stickers plastered all over it.

Matt Fenner from ARB southern raced his in a fair few events years ago as did
Bryce Elliot, but he did pirhana pursuit / simex pursuit ect.

Both sold their cars ages ago, and both buit Turbo Diesel GQ's.

Cheers
Dave.

I'd say that there are not to many Discos in comps, because the Rangie has the same mechanicals under the skin, but has a lower centre of gravity for more stability.
