Jim Marsden, winner of this years Croatia Trophy in his Spider 9 powered Land Rover, put together his own behind the scenes race recap. No one knows those stories better than Jim!

Jim Marsden & Team Gigglepin Off-Road Race Team have secured 1st place in this years Croatia Trophy. Think 8 days of non-stop off-road driver/vehicle/team punishment, in some of the harshest terrain Europe has to offer. Jim Marsden has become a seasoned Ultra4 name these days, in his signature Spider 9 powered Land Rover buggy. We are thrilled to see the team’s hard work pay off, and checking out all the photos and videos from race week, we’re wishing to have been there in person. Congrats Jim and the entire Gigglepin Team!

Europe’s biggest 4×4 event is currently underway, The Croatia Trophy, and we’ve already spotted a few Spider 9 axles dishing out the madness. It’s an awesome endurance race, 8 days of non-stop driver/spotter/vehicle punishment, and the video is just a blast to watch.  Daily coverage coming out of World4x4 Magazine ( https://www.facebook.com/world4x4 )​ is just fantastic, here’s their video of Day 2 which just wrapped up. Spotted Jim Marsden of Ultra4 Europe fame in there, who was looking great up to this point. Still early, and still anyones game.
