This annual event is organised by the Pajero 4WD Club of Victoria and has become one of the best and most challenging self guided, off road Navigational events in Australia. The Pajero Club Challenge is open to experienced Four Wheel Drivers and experienced Navigators. All brands of 4WDs are welcome, but vehicles must be set up with good off road tyres and suspension lift to suit High Country terrain.
The Mitsubishi Motors Pajero Club Challenge is a 24-hour 4WD navigation competition, split into four sections, each of which allows for 3-4 hours of driving. The driver and navigator(s) find their way from point to point, answering questions as they go. Many teams have multiple navigators and also swap drivers; it’s a team event!
Checkpoints are manned by members from various 4WD clubs. There are special stages where points can be gained, such as a written navigational test, skills task and team activities. Compulsory rest stops at each stage. Includes Saturday night meal and Sunday morning breakfast.
The focus of the event is teamwork, observation and navigation. The terrain will be typical of High Country driving and teams must prepare for dry and wet conditions. This is not a race because the objective is to make the least number of errors to beat the test of the competition.
