Dave And His Cross-Country Race Cars

Building Off Road Racers On A Budget

Jump To Articles – Click Here!


Itโ€™s time for you to meet Dave. Heโ€™s transforming our old NPย Pajero into a race car.

Heโ€™s also a mate. My wife Peta navigates for him and I’m part of his service crew, along with Dave’s son Andrew.

David Glazier has been a cross-country racing enthusiast since his teens. He grew up around cars and was introduced to cross-country racing through his mate Warren. So let’sย have a look at how Dave ended up building two cross-country cars and is now building a third.

If you have any questions, pleaseย goย here. We’ll do our best to give you a sensible answer!
