2025 Tatts Finke Desert Race - Cars

Aputula (Finke) marks the far turn in this two-day, multi-terrain off-road run through desert country, where the landscape itself is part of the challenge. The Finke Desert Race sends vehicles across rough, remote terrain; its reputation is straightforward: one of the most difficult off-road courses in one of the world's most remote locations. Expect a course that demands maintaining control over changing surfaces, dust, heat, and open desert, rather than a consistent rhythm. It attracts competitors seeking a different kind of challenge than a typical road race, with the saying that it is the “most fun you can have with a helmet on” holding considerable weight for those who find enjoyment in rough country.
