Mountain Achievers 4x4 Challenge 2012

[3stagevtec]

Ok guys, I would like to inform you all that Mountain Achievers will be hosting their 2nd Off Road 4x4 Challenge at Mon Desir road in South Oropouche. If you don't remember what their 1st competition looked like, please click here. Competition date is set for the 25th of November.



The competition site will be the same as last year but the course will be designed differently. This time you will meet a progressively difficult course that is designed to challenge both your driving skills and your vehicle. It is open to all light / heavily modified vehicles and accommodations will be made for both the large and small wheelbase guys.



Look forward to seeing some mini challenges during the event that are sure to entertain. I'll post any other information I get along the way. Hope to see you all there. See below for the location of the event. (Notice the little black circular pond in the middle of the map? That's where it will be held. You can zoom out from there to realize the location.)

You mean this guy:



hats off to him for real yes.

Didnt know it had a tractor pull though, I left to come back. Hopefully wont miss a minute of the next one.

What an event free fun day it was, glad to see a nice turn out and I saw the police stop by too (glad to know we safe although down here quiet).

The mike man had me laughing too yes.

Thanks soundboy, wish you was there man. You miss out.

[chelsea29]

not that guy,thats Ras in his Range Rover!

[DooMRR]

If Rass in his Range Rover only had more treadwear I'm sure he would be able to do most of the course (not sure about that last mud pit though. It got so deep even tractors couldn't make it). Will give him credit for pressing through until the end (of the stage and his radiator).

As for that old school Land Rover (the vehicles you would find in Caroni) that was running on hopes and dreams for tires, I give you two thumbs up. He really should win the crowd pleaser prize. Everyone was cheering that guy and his co-driver (Rass) on. With Rass jumping in the back of the LR and that man running on pure determination, they got further than anyone would ever guess.

I must admit. This event was VERY well done. It was well organised, great obstacles, fun parking facilities , and all out safe event. Job well done and I can't wait to try and compete next year.

Videos are being uploaded currently, so hopefully by later I should have them posted here.

Gotta hand it to the Mountain Achievers crew for hosting one helluva awesome event! Those guys really understand what off road competition is all about and you can see that when you look at the design of the obstacles they created. They challenged both vehicle and driver skill and each obstacle was well thought out. For me, I really liked the reverse challenges they used, that caught a few guys well..

Oh, and the tractor pull competition.. Hell yeah! We need more of that! Vids uploading..
