In this week's episode, Martin is at Wright Off Road HQ to chat to Drew Wright about all things motorsport, starting with a look around his very cool 88-inch Series challenge truck which is decked out with portal axles, competition winches, Super Swamper Bogger tyres and loads more trick kit that made it competitive in the winch challenge scene – much to the chagrin of owners of newer coil-sprung...

Okay, we all know the answer to the last one, but there's lots of other...
