From the harshest terrain to creeks of muddy water, welcome to one of the toughest competitions around, the Winch Truck Racing Games.
It may not be the magnificent setting of Chateau de Versailles at the Paris Games, but sprawling bush properties off the beaten track are hosting their own Olympics of four-wheel driving.From deep gullies to steep hill climbs, raging rivers to seemingly bottomless mud, welcome to the Winch Truck Racing Games.On race weekends in central Queensland, better known for its beef and barra, it's an epicentre of 4WD royalty.
Pickels said events could last for three days and up to 10 stages, with some ranging from a few hundred metres to 15 kilometres. "It's like when you were a kid and you had your little monster truck in the sand pit and you're going over big rocks. It's just grown from that I guess." A course designer as well as scrutineer, Pickels said the tough terrain in the region made it an ideal spot.
