“This is going to be the first major event in the off roading community [in Cebu City] after so many years. We’re bringing this back to wake up the off road community here,” Gamo said.

This competition serves as the finale of all the off-road series held by Nasfor throughout the year.

The highlight of the race will be extreme category, which will feature trucks that one doesn’t see on the regular road that often.

Gamo said the vehicles in this category are built, not bought, using pipes and powered by very strong engines and rides on suspension parts from all over the world.

Gamo added that something to look froward to is the lady drivers who are expected to join the competition.

“It is not only one. Probably two, three, or four. We [still] don’t know. We also have possible Malaysian racers,”  Gamo said. /bmjo
