G-4 No USA entrants?

[kellymoe]

I was just reading about the G4 challenge and they listed the countries participating and the USA was missing from the list. Whats the deal?

That’s odd. Last time I heard they were interning the NAS LR3 in the G4 challenge to show that those trucks are still capable off road as the previous Disco’s.

This picture taken from the G4 shot has a caption that reads...

"Land Rover G4 Challenge Discovery 3 in action"

My bad, I thought you were talking about last years.. (john c going back to sleep at his desk)


If you are talking about last years G4 event then there was one lady participating from the US. I think her name was Karen???? We were in Manhattan cheering her on....

G4 went off-road?That’s odd. Last time I heard they were interning the NAS LR3 in the G4 challenge to show that those trucks are still capable off road as the previous Disco’s.

No USA participant? I hope that's not true.

Kinda off on a tangent here, but just the other day I saw a G4 Edition of the Freelander glowing in its bright ugly orange in California going northbound on the 5 (Golden State Freeway) near Gorman. The driver of the Freelander did not wave back or even take a glance even though I was driving by his side for some time!!! Anyways.

That's odd. The USA is ineligible. I wonder why that is so.
