İSTANBUL OFF-ROAD CLUB
İstanbul Off-Road Club founded to gather off-road people as motorsport lovers and nature lovers and the club has been organising 4×4 races, outdoor trips, motorsport training for 27 years. Since 1993, the club acts as the locomotive to create new projects to improve and introduce off-road sports in Turkey.
For İSOFF, Off-Road is more than a mud and vehicle sports; Off-Road is a mediator to explore the wilderness and to cover a distance to struggle against nature and serves as a team sport where strong team rather than the high number, struggling rather than competitive people who love adventure are gathered.
ISOFF organised hundreds of Off-Road organisations and events since the day of establishment and it is the first off-road club in Turkey founded in 1993.

FIRST OFF-ROAD CLUB OF TURKEY
Other than the races, we have organised expeditions in different places in Turkey. We drove as a convoy in never explored tracks of Kaçkar, the Taurus, West Aegean Region and Central Anatolia. We drove in canyons of Salt Lake, Konya dessert and across the Taurus without even a tire mark. On weekends, we camped around İstanbul. We organised one-day off-road trips.
When we first started, we had no one around us. Now, there are 20 off-road clubs in Turkey in this number is increasing. The increase in the number of off-road clubs, races and audience shows that we are working in line with our initial purpose.
We are still at the beginning of this road; we are just 27 years old and we continue this road with our new projects.
