Not sure how to lead this – but you’ll get it once you read “caravan”. Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo find themselves thrashing some camper caravans on the Red Bull Ring. In Aston Martin convertibles, no less.
The trailers seem modded/hitched to not endanger driver and car, so they can be driven with ... neglect. Not sure how much evidence one would need to rule this fun, but the faces suggest it’s highly enjoyable. This should be a proper competitive sport!
Found this elsewhere on the web (Autoblog NL) and it made my day better, so I felt inclined to to share.

It’s not that hard to see Verstappen do this. Caravan races have been a Dutch tradition for quite some time now. Skip to 3:25

Agreed ... I find the idea intriguing to award/deduct points on several disciplines, i.e. make it through a rally stage w/o destruction of caravan. Or: quickest to annihilate.
For the record, I have only ever seen one AM (DB9) w/ a hitch out there in the wild. Ever.

I never noticed one with a hitch. But it was probably Dutch registered. We hitch and tow ALL THE THINGS!

This is why Ricciardo is sorta amazing. How can you not laugh when he starts?

I’d totally use a hitch if the vehicle won’t take damage from it ... as with some dual-clutch transmissions, SMGs or automated clutches à la LFA, that might not be such a great idea. :3
A Panamera 4S Diesel Shooting Brake makes perfect sense, though!

I wasn’t able to withstand. Combine Max’ half-embarrassed with himself, half exhilarated face with Daniel’s giggling and it’s over. “Sploosh!”, in Archer-speak.
