Do you consider 4wding a sport?
Just doing some research on something and would like to hear your thoughts on this.
Would people who are not 4wders consider it a sport????
What classifies something to be considered a sport??

My 4WD Club's Constitution calls it a sport. Thus the Club is a sporting Club and does not need to pay tax on income it receives from fund raising activities. Club members do actively participate in 4wd competitions.
This link maybe of help if your question relates to Tax Issues

Absolutely. And my question is, why isn't it in the Olympics?

For someone like myself I would class it as a hobby, even though we can be very competitive lol, but as Tim said for clubs with financial gain/support and competition drivers Yes I think it would be classed as a sport.

not the way I do it :-)
But once there is an element of competition, I guess so.
Is formula 1 a sport? Bathurst?

I'd consider it a sport ..
Car - check
Driver - check
Tracks - check
Co driver - check
Vehicle meets requirements - check
Sounds like most "motor sports" to me ...

AB - Our club went through this exercise some years ago, and despite what a club's constitution states, the final call is with the ATO. If you look at the reference quoted in #2 above you will find that is DOES NOT state that 4 Wheel Driving is a sport.
We ended up putting a submission to the ATO outlining our club's situation (as far as competition and such was concerned) and we received a special ruling to get a tax exemption.
If you think otherwise you are dreaming and your club has the potential to be audited and made to pay back taxes.
This may open a can of worms - but they are the cold hard facts.
Broad question AB lol. Military/rangers/police may call it a bonus to the job, I personally think it's an escape from the wife LOL.
Don't personally look at it as a sport, just an awesome day out with mates that ends with brews and barbies.
Whoever disagrees with the saying "Might is right" obviously doesn't own a MQ
