4.1 model a bit slow....but the 4.2 I think handled it best :D :D :D ...Just need to translate all the text....Hovvie can you do this as I think it's German any way ;) ;) ;) ;)

Yea pointless but probably just one part of the course they did...Start -Finish -Half way who knows.....

I can actually, in a geeky 'want to know' way

The RAV4.2 and the final RAV4.3 did best.

probably already sussed some of these out but some easy words to translate ....

Prufung had to look up, lots of english words could match, but guess it is "test", "trial" or "analysis"

diesmal - not Dismal!, but read as "dies mal" - which is "this time"

Mitten = Middle or Centre, so mittendifferential is centre diff I would guess

gesperrt = locked

so the last rav4.3 was "This time, with the central diff locked"

I was surprised the RAV4.1 didn't do better??

Its quite a good excercise to show what might happen on a very low friction surface. Interesting IMO.

what I quite like about that kind of test was that you can evaluate the car and its reactions without actually risking it, in a similar way that you may want to try out a a car on a skid pan to learn how to deal with a situation
