Production 4wd Showdown

Posted on February 27, 2016

Production 4wd is a class where the vehicle you see on the racetrack is almost identical to one you could buy off the showroom floor on Monday! There are 3 Production 4wds lined up at Perenjori and this is one class where it will be very difficult to pick a winner!

Ted Schultz in the 736 is a former state champion of the class and a seasoned competitor in his Ray White sponsored Jeep Grand Cherokee. After tackling the gruelling Finke Desert Race last year, Schultz is expected to be very hard to beat at Perenjori.

Dirk Van Geest driving a 4.8L GU Nissan Patrol for Old Fart Racing is one of the veterans of the sport. Having competed for many years in various different categories Dirk made the move to Production 4wd in 2014. His #777 Nissan Patrol is a seriously quick package and one to keep an eye on

Graeme Bentink is only very new to the sport, but in a very short time has captured a lot of attention. With a Diesel Powered VDJ79 Series Landcruiser as his weapon of choice Bentink enters his second race as a serious contender. Rumor has it that this G Turbo sponsored Sootchucker has some serious torque under the bonnet and could well give a few of the Extreme 4wds a run for their money
