The Finke desert race is one of the biggest races of the year in Australia and has been going for around 37 years. It is very tough and very fast. This year not only did a FE570 come third, but there were 3 in the top ten - 9th and 10th. Fantastic result!! Very close finish, if you understand just how tough the race is!!
