Off-Road Course Construction
Jeep Beach 2025 brought the heat once again as thousands of Jeep enthusiasts descended on Daytona for a week of fun, sun, and serious off-road action. Gordinier Group was proud to once again join the festivities, building a custom off-road course inside the iconic Daytona International Speedway.
With over 1,200 yards of dirt and a tight two-day build window, our team transformed the infield into a challenging course designed to showcase the full capabilities of the Jeep lineup. From steep climbs to off camber berms and articulation elements, the course delivered thrills all weekend long.
Our professional drivers gave ride-alongs to rabid Jeep fanatics, reinforcing Jeep’s legendary off-road performance. Whether it was their first ride or their fiftieth, guests left with a deeper appreciation for what these vehicles can do.
As always, Gordinier Group handled the planning, logistics, and execution from start to finish—on time, on brand, and built for impact. We’re honored to play a part in one of the Jeep community’s most iconic annual celebrations.
Following the successful kickoff in Torrance, the 2026 Honda Passport TrailSport tour continued with impactful stops in Arlington, TX and Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Each location offered a unique environment and a fresh audience, giving Sales Associates and consumers the chance to experience Honda’s most rugged SUV to date in dynamic, real-world conditions.
In Arlington, we transformed a large open lot into a custom-built off-road course designed to highlight the TrailSport’s capabilities. From articulation moguls to breakover berms, the vehicle performed with confidence across every obstacle—clearly demonstrating its trail-ready engineering. Participant energy was high, and feedback was overwhelmingly positive, particularly around the vehicle’s improved ride quality and enhanced off-road systems.
Ft. Lauderdale presented a different—but equally compelling—setting. Once again, the Gordinier Group team designed a challenging off-road course, which the Passport TrailSport navigated with ease. We welcomed a mix of dealership personnel and enthusiastic Honda fans, many of whom appreciated the rare opportunity to push the vehicle’s capabilities in ways not possible during everyday driving.
As with every stop, the seamless collaboration between Honda Sales Training, the Gordinier Group precision drivers, and our partners at George P. Johnson was critical to success. These events wouldn’t be possible without the coordination of the regional Honda teams and the enthusiastic engagement from all participants.
We’re proud to help bring the Passport TrailSport story to life—and we’re just getting started.

RAM Truck Territory made a powerful impression at the 2025 Rodeo Austin, offering guests an unforgettable ride experience over 16 action-packed days. Gordinier Group’s professional drivers and product specialists were on hand to guide attendees through a dynamic off-road course and a heavy-duty towing demo—featuring a RAM 2500 hauling an excavator with ease.
When weather prevented the use of the course, the team seamlessly transitioned to a street drive format, ensuring the RAM experience continued without interruption. Once the course dried out, the off-road action ramped up again, showing off RAM’s capability in rugged conditions.
Guests left with a newfound appreciation for the brand. “I’ve been a GMC guy my whole life,” one attendee shared, “but this course opened my eyes to RAM as an option.” From the smooth ride quality of the RAM 2500 to the tech-forward interiors, reactions were overwhelmingly positive. “Didn’t know these trucks were this nice inside,” said another, while others praised the Uconnect screen clarity, Harman Kardon sound system, and standout features like the split tailgate and RamBox storage.
Whether towing heavy loads or conquering obstacles, RAM trucks proved their power, comfort, and innovation—leaving many first-time riders saying, “I’m impressed,” and long-time fans even more loyal to the brand.
At Gordinier Group, we are proud to continue our strong partnership with RAM, a brand that represents quality, performance, and innovation. We truly appreciate the opportunity to be part of their journey and look forward to many more successful collaborations with such a respected leader in the industry.
At the heart of downtown Austin during SXSW 2025, Gordinier Group partnered with Rivian to bring the Electric Joyride experience to life as part of the Rivian Electric Roadhouse activation. Tasked with designing, building, and maintaining a compact yet dynamic off-road course, the Gordinier team transformed an urban lot into a fully functional test track that highlighted the all-terrain capability of Rivian’s electric vehicles.
The course was constructed using recycled asphalt grindings, aligning with Rivian’s sustainability mission. These materials were not only ideal for building a versatile off-road experience, but were also repurposed after the event, minimizing waste and environmental impact. Despite the limited footprint, the track featured a mix of articulation obstacles, climbing elements, and traction challenges—offering guests a genuine taste of what Rivian vehicles can do beyond city streets.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of SXSW, the Electric Joyride drew crowds and created a buzz, proving that even in the middle of a bustling city, the thrill of electric adventure is very much alive.
