Ford has once again cemented its dominance in extreme off-road racing with the stunning win achieved by Team Ford Performance for a second consecutive year at the grueling 2024 Tatts Finke Desert Race, one of the toughest off-road courses in Australia’s most remote outback.
A Class Above The Rest
The thrilling race held from Jun 7 – 10 June 2024 saw Team Ford Performance surpassing rivals to secure the Production 4WD Class victory in Ford Ranger Raptor, the only vehicle in its class to complete the event spanning from Alice Springs to Aputula (Finke) in the Northern Territory.
Race-Proven Excellence
Helmed by father-son duo of Brad and Byam Lovell, Ford Ranger Raptor showcased formidable toughness representing Ford Performance’s global off-road racing platform to claim back-to-back wins on a course where average speeds are nearly 35km/h faster than iconic Baja races.
