How was it in the XC60? I used to AutoX a lot but it was a while ago, and in a Lotus Europa - pretty much the exact opposite of an XC60 in terms of weight!

Well, it was definitely a riot.

I definitely don't recommend doing it if you value your tires because after just doing two events in them, the tires were absolutely shot. The T8 torque combined with the weight and ultra-low profile nature of the rims did not exactly equal for a good time. It resulted in a catastrophic recipe for disaster for the tires. However, interestingly enough, I found out if you put the car into dyno mode, it did disable enough of the nanny settings that it turns straight into a Alfa 147 GTA and can smoke out the front.

With the price of tires these days I'm going to pass! But hey, you appear to be sponsored by IKEA so that's good :LOL:
