He further added, “Tata Motors through its motorsports division, Tata Motors Full Throttle, hopes to create and cultivate motorsports in India, by giving enthusiast a platform to experience the true capabilities of their vehicles, to learn, discuss and experience the thrill of motorsports.” 

Jodhpur trail happened to be an exciting prospect, in terms of adventurous off-roading driving. The off-road trail route was based near Keru Village, mainly on the Jodhpur bypass and encompassed sand dunes, barren lands, river passage, sharp rocky inclines and many other difficult terrains. Apart from the extreme manoeuvre requiring track and the challenging rough terrains, the real thing that propelled the thrill quotient of the event was that that the participants were required to complete the track within a fixed tenure to certify as finishers.

Tata Motors Full Throttle Trails has more than 21 trails, planned to be organised at different locations of the country. With Full Throttle Trails, Tata Motor aspires to engage its patrons and provide them a first-hand opportunity, witnessing a unique off-roading experience well within their city limits; however interest and participation is anticipated from other centres as well. The terrain and track are designed while keeping in mind the off-road driving skill levels of professional drivers and amateur, who are capable of driving both – all wheel and front wheel drive chassis models.

The first expedition called 'Himalayan Experience' ended on July 2, 2012 and the next expedition is to be called as 'Konkan Experience', which has been slated to commence from Mumbai on September 28, 2012. The upcoming event will feature an entirely new off-roading pleasure, passing through the Western Coast and the Western Ghats, for the thrill junkies. Cougar Motorsports is the official partner of Tata Motors for planning and execution of Tata Motors Full Throttle Trails.
