Is that a sponsorship offer?

I am so there. Who want's to navigate for me?

Given the 3rd prize (Lacrosse beer), I'd be gunning for that...

heres an idea. A land rover event for all land rovers old and new.

basically a cannonball run for lrs in australia.

Start out in Townsville Queensland.
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/mapshell.../australia.htm

Finish on the west coast of Perth. where else but the beach.

There is a dealer in Townsville. Use him as the starting point. give all who enter the choice of five routes. one route is straight across the continent few roads and all the petrol you can carry in your land rover. It can be a RR sport or it can be a series three or Defender 130. The other routes will be a mixture of each with LR dealerships as checkpoints. The last route will be all higway driving. but it will be the longest. Down the coast of Eastern australi to victoria and then onto Melbourn and the princes highway to adelaide and then continue to perth from there.

give each route a different prize money. but with the driver with the shortest time the grand prize. The vehicles dont have to modified. they just need GPS tracking to make sure they dont cheat and go a different route. Finally dealership sponsored teams and LR factory teams as well in a private route selected for them with identical LR3s with no winches but only off road tires and navigation units. basically HDs with off road tires. as long as you own a LR you can enter.

It will be test of man and machine across great distances and a question of who is the better driver and who is the better machine and most importantly making LR the adventure vehicle that can go anywhere and do anything.

Thought about doing this before heh Beezel!!!!!!! Well....... I'm in.......

I can see it now. A special edition "LRO-Challenge Discovery". "Hey man, nice discovery, is that some special edition?" "Sure is, it's a LRO Special edition. It's sponsored by a few aftermarket companies so it is slightly modified, it's badass. It's won the LRO Challenge 3 years in a row, one of the hardest off-road challenges in the US"

An Oz challenge would be damn good, however have you checked how clean your vehicle must be before it is allowed into Australia

LRO Challenge . Sweet !! I love the Idea.

How much of offroad it will be ? Or how hard offroad will it be ?

My truck is stock , with Crap for tires . I would like a chalange that I could get wheels with tires and go offroad like that .

The beer as prizes are an insentive to do it , But I'll be very happy to finish the challage with out any damage .


Maybe we can do this somewhere like an average distance from anyone that would enter the event . Like I'm in CT and other person is in CA , we would do the Challage in the middle of USA. How about that ? So we all can do the chalange .

When it comes to Rovers, I don't want to see Kayaking, Bicycling, Running, Climbing, Snowboarding, Break-Dancing, Hoola-Hooping, Fire-Walking, or Alligator Wrestling...... I want to see WHEELING. Otherwise, why not just watch "Survivor" ??

When do we get some state-side Rover wheeling events?
When does LR step up & sponsor something like the Outback Challenge? How about the aftermarket? Our sponsor/vendors? Somebody who's independently wealthy & a Roverhead? Anybody?

heard thru the grapevine that there might be some LR racing up in Canada.... don't have the details and dates yet.... but I am setting up a RR buggy with a 4.6 just in case this thing falls thru...
