National Rally Recap

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. 00:00 Show Intro And Hosts 01:18 Guests And Rally Tease 02:00 JLR Job Cuts Talk 03:44 Discovery Sport Cancelled 05:57 Monterey Range Rover Pair 08:16 Auction Price Guessing 12:36 Rally Trip Begins 15:53 Road Trip Mishaps 17:52 Trails And Elevation 18:19 Carb Trouble at Altitude 19:02 Ouray Views and Town 19:35 Rally Car Mix Shifts 21:48 Monsoon Mudslides 23:25 Camping and Trail Logistics 24:49 Alex Highlights Mining Ruins 27:09 Shoutouts and Trophy Defender 29:53 Vendors Classes and Camp Movie 33:04 Destination Defender Roast 34:59 Wrap Up and Credits
