Cliffhanger 2025
We had an awesome time out at the 2025 Cliffhanger event!
Getting the Mav R built for this event was a huge push, thanks to everyone that helped and massive thanks to .
With zero seat and Navi time in the canam we are extremely happy with how we went!
9th in the prologue gave us a good start to the week with its first drive.
absolutely killed it in the Navi seat, with all navigation stages we were right up the top and didn’t miss a single waypoint all week. It was also Alex first time running a winch rope let alone in a competition with the added pressure! Could not have done a better job, extremely proud.
Across the week with almost 30 stages we had 5 DNF’s and a DNS and still managed to come 19th overall out of 89 cars.
The Mav R went very well all week, tyres were probably our biggest let down especially during the Thursday rampage stage we had to stop 17 times for punctures. Apart from that the only repair we did all week was change a front cv as we split a boot open and we had a lose bolt on one of the stages.
We have a few things that will need to dial in, the winch is way to fast and we need to figure out how to crawl this thing, it’s either zero speed or blazing the tyres, will need to look into lower gearing probably.
Unfortunately on our second last track of the week we clipped a tree with the rear right wheel ripping it off and that was us done.
We missed out on the last track and the winch wall but after seeing where our wall was we were pretty happy to miss out on it and drink some beers!
A great week and great time, we are very keen on the next event.
Time to start the repairs!
