XQuarry 4×4 Challenge 18.2.2023

What is it: The XQuarry 4×4 Challenge is a drive challenge for off-road vehicles. Some sections will only be possible with modified cars – the whole idea is to test the car and drivers ability in technical challenging terrain – you can exit challenges at any point if you cannot or don’t want to try to complete them. For not or only partially completed challenges you will get deducted points. At the end the winners will be the cars with the highest score.

III – The Obstacle Challenge

Challenge 1:
The Wadi Trail – maneuver your car over big rocks and boulders, tight turns and sloping mountains. The fastest time and no diversions from the trail will win.

Challenge 2:
Fix a pop-out challenge: Pop-outs (the tire gets off the rim because of low tire pressure) is not a rare thing to happen off-road so every real off-roader should be able to get the tire back on. We have setup a challenge to test your skills – you are only allowed to use an air compressor and basic tools (no flammables or explosives are allowed). The full setup and tools will be provided.

Challenge 3:
The Obstacle Challenge: go through some selected 4×4 obstacles at XQuarry park:

1. big axle twister and uphill axle twister
2. 40 degrees side slope
3. big tire trail
4. concrete pipe climb & trail
5. RTI ramp to get index points
6. steep stairs climb
7. gravel slope uphill climb
8. hard-core crawl (big concrete block climb) only for extra points if anyone can do it

Time and skills will be counted – for some of the obstacles the driver must pick a flag without leaving the vehicle to reduce speed and the requirement of control and precession. 

At the end the achieved points for all the challenges will be summed up and the team with the most points will win.

A waiver form must be completed prior to entry and can be done beforehand here.
