Odells Track

Odells Track will test your nerve and your vehicle's capability in equal measure. This challenging route near Brookville serves up a brutal 27% grade that demands respect, technical skill, and a machine built for serious terrain. You'll encounter relentless climbs that reward smooth throttle control and poor line choices with genuine consequences—this isn't a trail for the faint-hearted or under-prepared.

The 3.3-kilometre track pushes through steep, unforgiving terrain where every metre counts. You'll navigate rocky outcrops and deeply rutted sections that'll have your suspension working overtime, all while managing the constant battle against gravity on those punishing inclines. The landscape around Brookville provides a rugged backdrop, but your focus will be laser-locked on maintaining momentum and traction through the most technically demanding sections.

Preparation is non-negotiable here. Bring a winch, quality recovery gear, and ideally travel with a support vehicle—only three have successfully driven this trail, and that statistic alone tells you something. Check tyre pressure before you start, ensure your brakes are in top condition, and honestly assess whether your vehicle is up to the task. The 8-minute completion time is deceptive; it only counts if you make it through. Using Newtracs to log your attempt adds another layer of satisfaction when you conquer this beast.
