Default Race of Champions: What is that buggy-like thing they drive?

Just returned from Wembley where MS looked fantastic until the final round. My question concerns the one car I don't recognize. There is an enclosed buggy-like car that looks incredibly easy to drift (or they make it look easy). Small contact patch, relatively tall, oversteer on entry and exit. Anybody know what it is, who makes it, what does it cost? Thanks AS

Aren't they some kind of derivative of the Baja/Paris-Dakar buggy classes ? Think "Meyers Manx on steroids". Don't know if they're raced anywhere other than ROC, but their illegitimate cousins are running around deserts all over the world. Very quickly.

(and around the planet, people are thinking "WTF is a Meyers Manx ???")

They seem to use old Fuchs wheels which is pretty cool
