Vehicles flew through the air with showers of mud and ear-splitting engine noise at the Suzuki Extreme 4x4 Challenge in Turakina on Sunday.
Hundreds of people flocked to Dan Cowper's farm to watch 4x4 trucks
do the seemingly impossible.
The event was the last of the North Island 4x4 trials season. The competitors were 13 pairs who placed in the top 10 in 2020 and 2021. They lined up to compete across 12 courses, each with 10 gates or obstacles, and in a variety of vehicles.
