The 4×4 Club was founded on the Island in 1988. It organises a number of events and is keen to promote motor sport on the Isle of Wight. The Club is affiliated to the Motor Sport Association (MSA) and is run by off-roaders for off-roaders. The Club holds events at least once a month; these include driving days, trials, green-laning trips, inter-club events, mainland trips and camping. The activities cater for all, from novice off-roaders to veteran mud pluggers. It is an inclusive club and welcomes owners of all vehicles.
