Another walk, again in the heart of the Sierra Cabrera. From the appointed meeting place, Turre’s main square, after the usual amount of hanging around whilst people turn up, Javi roars off in his 4WD. We are ready and follow him, along with a couple of other vehicles. He takes the old road west out of the town, roars through El Cortijo Grande taking no prisoners, and continues, climbing the twisty mountain road into the Sierra Cabrera for another three kilometres. He seems oblivious to the sparse nature of the convoy behind him, despite the fact that thirty walkers had assembled in the square.

English term (edited):
roars off
arranca con un rugido
Aquí "roar" corresponde a esta a acepción del MW
: to proceed or rush with great noise or commotion
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/roar
La expresión "roars off" describe un desplazamiento rápido y ruidoso, pero en este contexto prima la idea de velocidad (puesto que Javi, el líder de la caravana, va tan rápido que muchos de los que se habían reunido para seguirle se han quedado atrás).
Como el término sale dos veces en dos líneas, propongo dos traducciones diferentes:
- "after the usual amount of hanging around whilst people turn up, Javi roars off in his 4WD."
"después de esperar un rato mientras va llegando la gente, el todoterreno de Javi arranca con un rugido"
- "roars through El Cortijo Grande taking no prisoners"
"atraviesa el Cortijo Grande a toda velocidad"

It is always up to the asker to decide. The asker knows better what suits the whole text and the client.
In any case, you should put all that in your explanation so that people don't miss your point.
1. Of a motor vehicle or its driver, to leave very quickly while making lots of noise from the engine. Said either of the driver or the vehicle itself.
