Once again: British people abusing innocent automobiles.

Fun on a budget!
All cars have to be road legal, taxed and insured, as they are driven on public roads between hills.
Road tyres, I think mud and snow are allowed. No chains, two wheel drive only. No fiddle brakes.
Not sure about limited slip diffs- or no diffs- probably not.

The V-Dubs and Dune Buggies seemed to do well.

I have done exactly that sort of thing in my old bug.
We had a series of logging skid trails (miles of them) all through the Santa Cruz mountains that were a popular free for all with trials and motocross riders (of which I was one) Every once in a while I would take my old beetle and terrorize those same trails shocking the poop out of the bike riders!
This was back when a good dirt bike was a British 500 single, or maybe a Bultaco...
(Now there are houses dotted all through there. Neil Young took the best of it, and others followed)

I remember Jim Clark showing up at the Indy 500 with his little green car and going away with the trophy.

Graham Hill and Colin Chapman.

Chapman started with trials cars.

Jim, I had a 1979 Ford Fiesta Ghia , when we lived in the Chicago suburbs, my young daughter's cousin lived about 8 miles away (by road) or 3 miles away by shortcut, which included a steep hill of dirt excavated from the soon-to be basements of a new neighborhood.
It was a real blast taking the daughter to visit her cousin (over that hill / through some trees / etc / etc)

I took my old 54 Bug ( in '65) some places that Dr Porsche would have never anticipated possible.
