Escape Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 21 hours ago, landroversforever said: 110 is too long sadly, there's a 100" wheelbase limit Too bad... What's the reason behind the limit? To keep out larger/heavier vehicles? It doesn't seem that twisty so I don't see a long wheelbase causing much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I couldn't see a reason listed for the wheelbase limit. @Anderzander might be able to shed some light on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 There are some pretty sharp switchbacks. It’s not impossible to get a well-driven 110 round in one go but by limiting the wheelbase to 100” they aim to ensure that shunting back and forth is minimised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 It’s very very twisty in places - the picture is misleading on that. There are a number of bends, where it’s very narrow and sunken into a rock bed. In those it’s lock to lock in a 90, and some need some shunting to get round them depending on your track width. Pre permits people did take 109’s up there - but I think the lane’s eroded quite a bit since then, the surface is quite fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
