Team USA continues to lead the competition after Day 3 of the event! For the day's events, each driver took the wheel of a Nissan Patrol and tore into a series of white-knuckle off-road challenges.
Blind Trial Off Road SUV
It's as crazy as it sounds; one competitor drives blindfolded through an off-road obstacle course while his or her team member calls
instructions from outside the vehicle! "I zigged when I should have zagged on the blindfold off-road course." — Dave, Team USA III. "My driving style today was most like an earthworm because I really sucked dirt on the blind SUV course." — Egon, Team USA III
