layed out with an emphasis on challenging the handling, maneuverability and pure raw power of the
vehicles whilst challenging the navigator and driver of the team’s physical endurance with torturous terrain
involving water crossings, hill climbs, traversal of deep ruts large rocks and generally punishing tracks.
