Bypass Track

The Bypass Track delivers genuine technical challenge in a compact package, making it a must-tackle destination for serious 4WD drivers seeking concentrated difficulty without extensive time commitment. Near Willow Springs, you'll navigate a demanding route that tests your vehicle's articulation and your own driving precision across its 1.7 km length. Despite the lack of steep grades, don't underestimate this trail—the terrain demands respect and skillful line selection through rocky sections and tight maneuvers that will engage even experienced drivers.

You should expect challenging obstacles that require careful navigation and potentially winching assistance. The track features technical ground conditions that vary throughout, rewarding those who scout their line and commit to precise driving inputs. Bring recovery gear and consider having a spotter on hand, as the confined nature of certain sections leaves little room for error. Your vehicle needs solid ground clearance and articulation capability; this isn't a trail for stock standard setups.

The relatively short completion time of eight minutes shouldn't fool you into thinking this is a casual jaunt. You'll find yourself intensely focused, working through each obstacle methodically. The Newtracs app will provide you with detailed waypoints to navigate the route efficiently. Only two vehicles have successfully completed the Bypass Track to date, which speaks volumes about its genuine difficulty rating and the satisfaction you'll gain from adding it to your completed list.
