As @Hybrid_From_Hell Isn't the type to blow his own trumpet I'll say it - He's the man to look at the diffs and advise either way.

But making a conclusion based on something you’ve not looked at properly and already dismissed? As above, they’re far better built (particularly underneath) than any modern pickup I’ve looked at!
Or in the case of Mannington last year, trying to get their attention to stop just sitting on the limiter whilst going absolutely nowhere…. And windows completely covered in mud .
I can see how something like the comp safari would be allowed to continue even on stuff that's not just the main gravel tracks. They'd probably just have to set out the stages and have it all approved before going ahead. So much easier to police than a play day/weekend.
Fridge beat me to it.... I don't think tyre restrictions are the answer sadly and I think it has to come down to something like Nonimouse's suggestion of the 3 goes type rule. Something that a larger sized Simex/Trep can crawl up could be totally shafted by a vehicle on smaller AT/Mt tyres bouncing off the limiter the whole way through. It's a similar thing to how my 90 is going to look after it's done. 37" tyres and it won't look great to the outside world if I took it laning when in reality it could easily be doing far less damage than a less capable vehicle.
Until you get a jealous neighbour or two.... Friends of ours had a great little turbine in their field long before the solar PV boom. It ended up having to come down after court cases and lobbying from a few jealous neighbours about the 'noise' it generated. Nothing more than a slight swishing noise either right under it or ~100m away on the boundary.
I think Shire would be interested in anything for offroad stuff.... if its further away then it probably has to be somewhere suitable for a couple of days and some camping?
I'd have to agree Stephen... like @elbekko says though... plenty of tracks did just appear onto the side of other tracks without any warning. Not always much of an option to retrace your steps either
