Title hopes 4X4 driver Nathan Fogden last won his class in the 2022-2023 season, but the Te Puke man hopes his luck will change for his home round of the NZ 4x4 national trial series on Sunday. The
Bay of Plenty Four Wheel Drive club is hosting the round on the Powdrell family farm on Rangiuru Rd. Trials are based on the ability of competitors to drive their vehicles over difficult terrain,
including hill climbs, mud bogs and going up steep hills, over rocks and along banks. The course is made up of a minimum of 28 short obstacles. Fogden, a four-
time national champion in the sport’s second tier C class, hasn’t had the best of seasons, but a win in Te Puke will see his title challenge back on track. Read more on page 3. Photo / Supplied
