The Cooper Tires Pajero Challenge is a 24-hour 4WD navigation competition, split into four sections, each of which allows 3-4 hours of driving.

Each section includes:

Driving stage, where 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 manned by members from various clubs

Special stages such as a written navigational test

Compulsory rests, and a campsite at start finish area

The focus of the event is teamwork, observation and navigation, not speed or hardcore 4WDing. There is now only one class of vehicle, Standard; the Modified class has been dropped, marking a return to the spirit of the original event.
