We were heading to the next event in a 60-year-old Land Rover Discovery (the other vehicle on the front of the Forza Horizon 4 box), and I would be behind the wheel. Yes! This was more like it.<\/p>\n<p>It only had four gears but I barely used first: \u201cThis vehicle\u2019s got so much torque you should be pulling away in second,\u201d my co-driver, who worked for Goodwood House, said. A plaque on the dashboard said the Land Rover could reach 122mph, but the engine sounded like it was going to explode at 60mph. I had a hard time slowing it down at that speed, as the brakes are as \u201cclassic\u201d as the steering, and I nearly hit the car in front a couple of times (sorry to whomever was driving that red Fiat Punto).<\/p>\n<p>We soon headed off-road and took a chalk track that used to be the main route from Chichester to London for horse-drawn carriages. Keeping the Land Rover in a low gear was essential here, as was concentration, as the ride was bumpy, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake your foot off the clutch and brake and let it go on its own, it won\u2019t stall,\u201d my co-driver said. I was used to driving a modern car with the constant fear that I would stall it. No such problems in the Land Rover \u2013 it effortlessly rolled downhill without even thinking about stalling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was dying to get back to the fun stuff, and Xbox obliged.
