    2018 > Australian 4x4 Competition Scene

    G’day Team,
    Keen to learn more about the Australian 4x4 competition scene and have no idea where to start our viewing enjoyment.
    Desert, circuit, hill climbs, mud racing and winch challenges all sound great and no doubt other classes are out there too?
    Any experiences and or followings out there that you find worthwhile and sharing?
    Cheers!

    I don't really follow it Marko.
    But if I run across it on the net/FB or TV I'll sit and watch it. This Weekend just gone there was a 1 hour show at Finke. Greatly enjoyed it.
    I also follow Patrolapart on FB and have a look at their stuff when their boys are racing their blue machine.

    This Saturday there is this.


    PS. I wish they'd show and promote more winch challenges etc... It's only what you see on FB etc these days.

    You, @AB, @MudRunnerTD and whoever should set aside a good long weekend for Qld winch challenge or Ultra 4 or or tough tracks at Landcruiser park, or wherever.
    Then I can take you for drive too

    Used to be a good era 10 + years ago in Vic before councils tightened permits on events on private property. . . Vic Winch, Ateco, Alpine & Engel Challenge were awesome. Starting to come back back a bit with the patrolapart challenge which is on the Bindaree property which is cool and a lot of the old events were on. Limited spectators now & can't just rock up on the day like you used to.

    Don't know about spectating for outback challenge there's also the which challenge in WA which looks pretty epic can't remember what it's named but . . .

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
