Costa Plenty is a 500 acre 4x4 park. It is situated on top of the Pukatoi range behind Makuri. The 2 closest towns are Pahiatu & Woodville. Both these towns are just through the Manawatu gorge from Palmerston North.

Sorry mate you think google maps is piss drunk lol.

Yeah man, the event is still half a year away, entry fees havn't even be hinted at yet, and no indication of what the event is going to consist of has been given. One person's view of a tough truck challenge is very different to the next!!!
To me a tough truck challenge is similar to the Coast to Coast. But being run on a farm, do we expect hazards? or stages? or what??
And Entries are full already.
Kinda premature i reckon, unless some people have inside info
Either way, i would say that there will be plenty of drop outs come a month or so before the event
( don't mind me, just havin a quiet dig cause i can
)

Lets put it a different way. I don't think drivers should be allowed to drive the obstacles in there competeing trucks otherwise they have an unfair advantage.
