This is interesting seeing it only had road tyres on the car but I wonder how the clutch pack would stand up to this in a DSG box.

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Mine did great in the small sand dunes and sandy tracks of coffin bay national park. Spent maybe 5-6hrs there. So lots of slow speed stuff and strain on the driveline. It didn’t make the gearbox any worse than it already was/is.
I have a thread with a video in this forum somewhere. -
I can understand why travelling above the speed where the clutch would be slipping there shouldn't be a problem but he is travelling at a speed where the clutch would not be fully engaged @ 2MPH. I thought where he took it was fairly impressive as I had no idea of how capable the system was. I have taken two wheel drive cars to worse places than other "off road" demos I have seen.Comment

In my case there was lots of slow speed driving. I was very cautious of the (lack of) ground clearance and wheel articulation and had to place the car carefully (and slowly)
1st gear and it’s clutch got a very solid workout.Comment

That video in the original post is barely off road. I had my R53 Cooper S on worse roads.Comment
