Millers evoque was awesome, I haven't seen there stuff race but I can't see why it wouldn't work,
The ART stuff yeah alot of the components are imported but only because that's what the best stuff avilable is, and there's no point trying to make something that someone else makes better for cheaper. I love the work that goes into those trucks, there's some serious skill in making one of those frames.
The fact is at the moment there simply arn't any competitions in the uk for that style of truck, it's a very American/euro style that those trucks are designed for, and until some people in the uk want those trucks we won't see those types of events yet.
I do agree that skill of the driver in most circumstances is what wins comps, and drivers that have been competing in ALRC etc would have an advantage over a novice, but in a whole new type of offroading to what your used to its more of a level playing field.
It would be interesting though to square up each truck, the massive ART ones and a good ALRC truck against each other on each ones favoured event
