RE: Lamborghini announces Urus racing series
Discussion
I wrote in the DBX thread that given the number of 'sports' SUVs they should have some sort of race series, so I think this is great to see. As an earlier poster said, bring in other makes too. Cayennes/ Macans, the Maser one, DBXs, Stelvios, F Paces, RR Sports, plus a couple of Bentaygas and Cullinans. What's not to like? Sort of offroad truck racing!

I wonder how robust they'll really be?
Part of the reason that rallycross cars, stadium trucks, WRC cars and even touring cars, to an extent, are so good to watch IMO, if that they're much more robust, for being being on a custom chassis/spaceframe, than a road car with a rollcage would be.
Obviously, these things will be modified to an extent, but are they going to be as stiff, rigid and tough as something purpose built?
It would be terrible if there was no contact and no big jumps because they're scared of bending a wishbone.
Many a rally, touring and rallycrosss car is based off a stock shell. That's what seam welding and extensive roll cages are for.

Brilliant! So the Urus is definitely not completely pointless, because now we can go racing in them. 
Watching a dozen or two rich kids rallycrossing will be undoubtedly amusing (and provide a great deal of work for the Lamborghini body shop), but surely someone is going to have a go at the Dakar in one of these?

I was thinking something similar to Stadium Trucks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iV8PFYnWHiw
Let all the big boys in, Urus, Bentayga, Q7/8, Range Rover, G Class etc.
Now that might be entertaining.
I agree 110%! This looks like fun, a deviation from the norm in a good way. Really don't understand the hate from some people on here. Might be the usual British attitude towards things that don't fit a prescribed norm.Let all the big boys in, Urus, Bentayga, Q7/8, Range Rover, G Class etc.

Large Truck/ lorry racing is awesome, ergo this should be too, especially is they do it stadium truck style.
