Media Drive
Playing in the Dirt at Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Our team supported Nissan at Las Vegas Motor Speedway by designing and building a purpose-built off-road course for a media drive featuring the 2026 Frontier PRO 4X and PRO 4X Roush Edition. The goal of the activation was to give journalists a controlled environment where they could experience the capability of the vehicles while navigating true off-road obstacles.
We created a technical course layout that included extreme articulation wedges, deep moguls, reverse off-camber banked turns, and uneven terrain designed to highlight traction, approach and departure challenges. Our crew handled all site preparation, the course build, equipment management, and on-site safety.
Throughout the drive, our spotters were positioned at every key obstacle to provide guidance, hand signals, and clear communication. Their support helped each journalist understand the intended driving line while maintaining a safe and steady flow of vehicles through the course.
The result was a smooth and well-organized program that allowed Nissan’s media guests to focus on the driving experience while we managed the operational, safety, and terrain-based details behind the scenes.
We recently joined our partners at Nissan to help orchestrate an immersive media drive showcasing the all-new 2025 Armada Pro-4X. Recognizing our expertise in creating authentic off-road experiences, Nissan, once again, entrusted us to design and build a comprehensive testing ground that would demonstrate the full-size SUV’s enhanced capabilities to attending media.
The specialized course featured a strategic mix of challenging obstacles, each carefully engineered to highlight specific aspects of the Armada Pro-4X’s performance envelope. Technical sections including articulation wedges and moguls put the vehicle’s suspension and 4WD systems on display, while steep hill climbs demonstrated its impressive climbing abilities. Gordinier Group’s course design also integrated several natural terrain challenges, creating a comprehensive testing environment that balanced technical difficulty with real-world applicability.
Once the course was complete, our experienced trail guides provided spotting through technical obstacles while helping journalists maximize the Armada Pro-4X’s capabilities by ensuring the optimal vehicle features were engaged for each challenge. This thoughtful approach allowed media participants to experience the Armada Pro-4X’s capabilities in conditions that potential owners might encounter during their own off-road adventures.
Nissan’s trust in our expertise and the creative freedom they extend enables us to deliver exceptional results. Building on our proven track record, we designed a media drive that showcased the Armada Pro-4X’s off-road capabilities through an immersive, authentic testing experience.
