Found myself hanging onto my seat.... almost forget to breath watching this. Such an awesome sport.

This is terribly interesting. Thank you for posting it.

Never seen this before, its AWESOME lots of power and super Technic. I think this sport will a lot bigger. Max :)

This is tough stuff; the courses are so tight and the scoring is exacting. Looks like a helluva challenge.

Downhill? What the hell is the point of DOWNhill racing? Can't recall ever catching that one...but yeah, I mean we have every type of damn racing there is. We have freakin bar stool racing for fucks sake......😐 We basically do have this, we just don't quite have this exact kind of terrain/weather together. Some boggy kinda stuff in Alaska. We've got side by side, all kinds of rock racing, mud bogs (just boring straight ones though), short course, stadium, open desert racing, if there is a thing, we race it. I'm sure there are probably organized leaf blower/office chair races somewhere. If not there should be. Or homemade hovercrafts. Each team gets a few leaf blowers, a piece of plywood, some rubber, a bunch of duck tape, and an hour or so to build, then race...

I remember being there watching this

Awesome race!

These light trucks dont work on aggressive tyres. Plus we need the grip on sides of steep hills. Many tyres simply fold under or slide. There are also rules on what tyres we can use. If the rules are the same for everyone then we dont need more grip and we dont need to dig holes for the other competitors.

Looks like fun

Great looking buggies looks heaps off fun

Thanks Mat. Yes I am hearing the feedback on this but one of the main reasons for creating this whole event and to have it broadcast on NZ TV is to show how the competitors are scored and have a "live" score board. This is not able to be achieved in the usual NZ 4x4 trials. I bet if we used smaller scoreboard people would complain that they couldnt read it lol.

Some would complain, we always do ;) but there's not actually that much information on the scorecard and you could make it quite a bit smaller, esp if most people are watching on today's giant tv's and monitors.

I bet the announcer does golf shows also lol

Thanks for making this video. I really wanted to enjoy it, but found the editing too annoying to watch. The limited distant-footage was great, but the video had too many cuts, too many close-ups, and too much in-car footage. And that giant annoying gate-graphic covering much of the action.

I saw a lot of inconsistent judging, for the trucks brushing the gates & tape-line. Some would touch them, and still earn the points. Need more people on-course keeping an eye on the rules. Other than that, very exciting motor sport!!

What are the levers the passengers constantly pulling?

Fun stuff but why 100 points per gate? Wouldn't the spread be the same if it was 1 point per gate? Are there any little points (less than 100)?

The thing i don't like is if you get ahead you go first and the people that go first always rack up the highest points because they are using the fresh course. Meaning unless you get a lucky break on the first couple you won't ever win

@cowpertrucks4954

For the first two years we ran the trucks in the same order each course. This was more for filming and editing reasons than anything else. But yes it seemed the later you hit the courses the better. So with the event you watching now the initial start order was drawn from a hat. Thats the order they ran for the first coures. Then on the 2nd course the first guy went to the back and so on and so on. That meant that each driver got to go 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc on a course. 10 drivers, 10 courses. Couldnt think of a way to do it any fairer.

well thats a good way to get pink eye lol

Hi Bill. Yes it certainly makes it a team effort. Usually co-driver on brakes as driver has more than enough to do in heat of the moment. Remember no stopping in this game. Sometimes lockers and rear steer by co driver just depends on individual preferances.

Get rid of that large gate bar taking up screen space, fun video to watch but the bar is annoying.

Please use paddle tires on that mud.
