The post Winner Announced: Lotus Caravans $190k+ Adventure Giveaway appeared first on Pat Callinan's 4X4 Adventures.

The Spirit of Amarok returns to Werribee in Melbourne to pitch teams against each other over a level playing field of standard Amarok 4X4 utes. Challenges involve speed, terrain and technical aspects. Participants will have their precision and control tested by the extreme driving conditions in rally, technical and regularity stages.

Rally champion Sarel van der Merwe ‘Supervan’ created the event 12 years ago as the Spirit of Africa Trophy, as the toughest competition for the average non-professional driver to test their mettle in.

2018 saw two teams head to South Africa to represent Australia. Australia placed second at the international event, behind South Africa and ahead of Botswana. This year let’s show them how good we really are! To enter yourself and a mate in the Spirit, you must register your interest on Volkswagen’s Spirit of Amarok website.

Competitors will have Supervan and our own resident Amarok guru and former competitor Pat Callinan providing expert guidance and advice. You don’t need your own 4X4, all competition vehicles are provided by VW to ensure all teams have equal footing. The vehicles will be the Amarok Core 4X4 and Core V6 depending on the trial stage.

Melbourne 4X4 Training Centre at Werribee will host the competition on the 11^th and 12^th of April with the two highest scoring teams selected to fly to South Africa for the world championship.

Registration is open now for the 2019 Spirit of Amarok!

WHAT IS SMARTBAR?

SmartBar is an Australian-based manufacturer and distributor of polymer vehicle frontal protection for the passenger and 4X4 SUV markets. Established in 1996 SmartBar became a wholly owned subsidiary of ARB in 2014 with their headquarters in Adelaide, South Australia.

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Engineered polymer material and hollow construction provides the SmartBar with the unique ability to absorb an impact and return to its original shape afterwards. This absorption helps to reduce the amount of damage to the vehicle in the event of high energy impacts such as animal strikes.

Continuous development using the most advance manufacturing techniques and software applications available to the industry allows SmartBar to make each bar unique to the vehicle make and model that it is fitted to. This ensures that the product is fully integrated to the vehicle’s profile without affecting the on-board safety systems including Airbag Deployment and Crumple Zones.

HOW ARE THEY MADE?

SmartBar uses a Linear Low Density Polythylene (LLDPE) Copolymer resin specifically designed for Rotational Moulding applications. SmartBar specifically formulate their powder, finely grinding the LLDPE and blending it with the necessary additives which suit the end products’ application. The result is an optimum quality, consistent product that is lightweight, tough, chemical and impact resistant and UV Stable.

WHY BUY A SMARTBAR?

Exhaustive testing illustrates that SmartBar acts as both an injury-prevention cushioning device in busy pedestrian areas as well as protecting essential engine components from high-speed, high energy impacts without impairing essential airbag operation. It’s also the first vehicle frontal protection system (VFPS) in the world that meets the European Standard for Pedestrian Safety and this year won a gold award for Most Innovative New Aftermarket 4WD Product in the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association’s (AAAA) Innovation Awards for its StealthBar.

“This is great recognition for the SmartBar team and testament to their hard work and commitment in continuously being at the forefront of technological innovation, design and development of automotive accessories” – Kevin Baker, General Manager SmartBar

Hailing from the NSW south coast, Catherine counts herself very lucky for entering the 2016 Adventure Amarok Giveaway, which totalled a massive prize pool of over $160,000. Lucky, because she won.

Their shiny new steed is the Amarok V6 Ulitmate. That V6 makes 165kW @ 4,500rpm, and 550Nm of torque @ 1,500-2,500rpm. Beyond that, an overboost function gives you a temporary extra kick, up to 180kW and 580Nm. It’s perfect for overtaking and hills, especially when you’re towing.

And towing will be on the agenda for this ute, seeing as a 14′ Lotus Caravans Off Grid was also part of the prize pool. Tough enough to head off-road, this caravan will see you camping just about anywhere in Australia, without sacrificing any comfort.

That V6 engine runs through a slick 8-speed automatic gearbox, powering all four wheels full-time. Off-road traction control is really effective and is supported by a locking rear differential. For any mods Catherine will be looking at, there’s a $5,000 ARB 4X4 Accessories voucher, as well as a $1,000 Club 4X4 voucher for 4X4-specific insurance.

Didn’t win this time? Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to pull another rabbit out of the hat next year, with another massive 4X4 giveaway. Stay tuned!

There are also four runner-up prizes, who will all score a $1,000 Club 4X4 voucher each.

But, like they say on the crappy shopping channels, there’s more. Every entry into the $80,000 giveaway gets a 2-month digital access pass to the Pat Callinan’s 4X4 Adventures digital magazine, via an app on your smartphone! What have you got to lose?
