Finke Run and Won

13-06-2018

The term ‘there and back’ has been attached to the Finke Desert Race since its inception.  That’s what its all about, a huge weekend in the desert to see who can get ‘there and back’.  Most years, about half the total entrants actually make it both ways.  It doesn’t really matter if you don’t, you’ll still have a huge experience of a lifetime and be able to tick that one off the bucket list.  For many it just means that you’ll return to try again.

130 cars entered the iconic Finke Desert Race for 2018.  62 of those vehicles were SSV which are fast becoming the entrant vehicle of choice.

While of the topic of fast, a remarkable 25 of the top 50 finishers were SSV, and a previously unimaginable 5 SSV actually made it into the top 20 outright.  38 SSV made it ‘there and back’.

31 ATV braved the desert among a total of 612 bikes.  And a respectable 20 ATV made it both ways.

AORVA is very proud of the strong camaraderie throughout the event.  The Manufacturers Superlite Pitstop set the scene by adding a touch of 5 Star desert luxury, and all of our friendly ORV entrants did the rest.  So many people were going the extra mile to help keep other entrant’s machines going and everyone was looked after.

Thanks to Can-Am, Polaris and Yamaha for their fantastic event support.

Congratulations to everyone who took part in this years Finke, and extra congratulations our 58 SSV and ATV entrants who made it ‘there and back’ in Australia’s toughest off road race.
