Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge

Motor Sports

It’s that time again, time for the 2019 Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge. The day is Sunday, the date April 28.

The Suzuki Challenge is an annual made-for-television 4x4 Trials showcase created and  hosted by local 4x4 Trials guru Dan Cowper and his business, Cowper Trucks,  at 2278 SH3 Turakina (near Whanganui, Ed).

Come along and check out this unique and exciting motorsport event which this year will pitch NZ's top 10 trucks as qualified in the National 4x4 series take on insanely steep hills, jumps, bottomless bog holes and the speed course.

The event has been specially created for spectator viewing and TV film production. For the last four years the Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge has featured on TV3's CRC Motorsport show and this year is no exception!

All 10 courses are in close proximity so minimal walking is required. All 10 courses are completed one at a time so you don’t miss out on any of the action! A brilliant day out for the entire family. Bring the kids, sit back and enjoy our live commentary, music, hot food and refreshments

Steep hills, vertical banks, massive jumps, mud and speed, combined with good food, easy spectator viewing and live commentary all makes for a fantastic day out with mates and family.
