As of January 26th, 2024, the licensing authority of Trinidad and Tobago has issued comprehensive guidelines pertaining to the modification and elevation of vehicles specifically designed for off-road use. This landmark development marks a historic moment, as it signifies the first instance in the Caribbean region where a country has publicly acknowledged the permissible modification of lifted vehicles, thereby laying the groundwork for future advancements in the realm of motorsports throughout the Caribbean.
This significant achievement has been the culmination of dedicated efforts by a strong offroad team from various shops and garages in collaboration with the Trinidad and Tobago Off-Road Association (TTORA). Working closely with the Transport Commissioner and his team, we successfully contributed to the formulation of these guidelines. The overarching objective of these guidelines is to streamline processes and enhance overall convenience for all stakeholders involved.
This collaborative endeavor reflects a commendable synergy between regulatory authorities and the motorsports community, fostering an environment conducive to progress and innovation. The newfound clarity and support provided by these guidelines are poised to catalyze positive developments within the motorsport landscape, ensuring a more seamless and regulated future for modified and lifted vehicles in the Caribbean.
