After recently winning the first round of the 2014 Australian
Rally Championship (ARC) SXS (Side by Side) Challenge in Western
Australian, Polaris Racing Australia is excited to announce our
entry for the first time into the 2014 Finke Desert Race.
Rally legend four time Asia Pacific Rally Champion and Polaris
Racing Team Driver Cody Crocker and Co-Driver Greg Foletta are
excited to take on the Alice Springs desert race for their first
time.
"I can't wait to spend two-days racing off road in the Finke
Desert Race. It has been something I have wanted to do for a very
long time and I am excited that Polaris has decided to enter Finke
this year. At the recent first round of the ARC in WA I got to race
for the first time the teams new Polaris RZR XP 1000, this machine
is just incredible and I look forward to tackling the desert in
it!" said Cody Crocker.
Last year twelve SXS raced in the Finke Desert Race eleven of
which were Polaris RZR's. Polaris teams took out first, second,
third and fourth places last year in RZR XP 900's and this year's
event will see some competitors race with the all-new RZR XP 1000
launched late last year. To date eleven competitors have entered
the 2014 Finke Desert Race, eight being Polaris RZR's.
It will be an exciting race on the 7-9 of June and all the
action will be posted from the event on our Facebook pages being
"Polaris Australia" and "Team RZR"
