Benefits of joining the
club
The site is open to all in
the World Wide Web, but it has a core Forum section for club members

you become interested enough to become a club member. Full membership

Club History
As more and more of the vehicles used in the 2003 and 2006 Land Rover
G4 Challenges made their way into private hands, many owners started
to correspond with each other via other Clubs, and it quickly became
apparent that this was an ideal opportunity to join together to share
information. Early in 2007, following articles that appeared in
several Land Rover magazines, a small number of these enthusiasts got
together and started work on building the framework for an
organisation. The Club's first public outing was at The Heritage
Centre in Gaydon during May 2007, and were immediately warmly welcomed
by other groups, as well as other visitors to Gaydon who have since
joined the Forum. A second appearance a week later at the LRM Spring
Adventure in Driffield proved that the club was here to stay with yet
more people asking for details about membership.
Since those early days the club has seen the excitement of the 2009
event build up and then the eventual disappointment of the 2009
cancelled event. However, as those vehicles were released by Land
Rover, enthusiasts quickly snapped them up and joined the club thus
providing a rich history to the overall 3 events. Whether there will
be another G4 event remains to be seen. Since Land Rovers promotion of
the branding has taken two different directions for the Land Rover
brand (Defender, Freelander, Discovery) and Range Rover brand (FFR,
Sport, Evoque), it is unlikely that the G4 Challenge will continue in
its past form.
This website acts as a central gathering place for Club Members, as
well as others who are interested in learning more about the Land
Rover G4 Challenge - The Ultimate Global Adventure!
