Anyone looked at the C&MC towcar of year 2019 winners on this website?

The engine data for the Polo, Toureg, and Skoda Kodiac are full of errors wrt. power and torque.

Not checked any of the others.

Polo - 188bhp and 291ft/lbs torque! from a 3 cylinder 1.0 petrol engine!

    Even more worrying is the fact that the Volkswagen Polo SEL 1.0 TSI DSG's  braked towing limit of 1000kg is less than the unladen weight of the lightest Bailey caravan.

    I think they rested it with a trailer tent which the club do allow on pitches.

    Ok, hadn't realised. You might have thought it would have been corrected by now.
