The motorsports community recently descended on Brighton, St Elizabeth, for the adrenaline-fuelled event Offroading On The Farm. The obstacle course welcomed a dynamic mix of fully stock and modified 4-wheel drive vehicles from a diverse lineup of manufacturers, including Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki, Jeep, Land Rover, BYD, BAIC, Foton, and Great Wall Motors (GWM).
