Well they wanted to see how well the new Range Rover Sport would
go off-road so they took it to Salsbury Plains and introduced it to
a Challenger 2.
The Rover was to try to get from Point A to Point B while the
Chally 2 was to try to achieve a simulated hit on the RR with it's
main gun. Highlights include the Rover hiding in the forest, the
Rover getting smoked out of the forest, the Rover running round the
Chally 2 while the turret tried to traverse to follow.
IMO this is one of the better challenges they've put together. Some
of the others (including the Apache one) may be a bit naf but Top
Gear is still excellent entertainment. If you're interested, the
episode with the Challenger 2 is Season 6 Episode 1
