Why wasn't the Puma's traction control working - I doubt it would have had an issue if it was - also you carried a bit more momentum so as usual, some of the difference can be put down the driver.

TC on the Defender was working - but (being a manual) it's a fine line between stalling it and spinning the tyres too hard (= no forward momentum in clay!), despite the "no stall" feature. The Defner's TC is just not as aggressive as the Rock-Crawl setting on the newer D4/RRS. There are 2 or 3 other comparison videos that highlight the difference.

Good show there. I believe people are very surprised at what the RRS can do, as they consider it just a road SUV to take the kids to school.

I hate to admit as I am a big fan of the Defender but in most instances, in my experience, the RRS and D3 are better in marginal conditions than the Defender as long as you know how to set the RRS and D3 up.

Poor defender off road driving I'm afraid.

Do you know what tire pressures each car was running? The Deafener might have been over-inflated for such a slimmey climb? Ra-Ro Sport Super Dooper Charged.
