It’s that time again, time for the 2018 Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge. The day is Sunday, the date April 29.

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).

This year it will again feature the best of the best drivers and 4x4 Trials competition vehicles in the country.

Vehicles and crews have been personally invited to test their skills against 12 extreme 4x4 courses. 

FMX superstar Levi Sherwood is also locked and loaded as the Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge 2017 guest driver. 

Levi will be one of the 10 competing drivers and will pedal an LS3 V8-powered CowperTruck. 

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.

Start time is 9.00am and the event will be filmed for TV and screened via 2 x one hour programmes on TV3's CRC Motorsport show.  

See the Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge Facebook page for more info.
