A track element for forming an endless caterpillar track, comprising:

• a generally C-shaped rigid member having a base portion extending transversely to the track;
• a tapered side guide member on each end of the base portion;
• and
• at least one inter-engaging connector member on each side of the base portion;
• wherein the rigid member is encased in a coating of elastomeric material which entirely covers the rigid member;
• wherein the track element comprises an inner surface disposed with a generally parabolic curvature for gripping a tyre of a vehicle;
• wherein the inner surface of the track element includes a drive engaging lug configured to provide traction between the tyre of the vehicle and the track element.
