This is the Finke Desert Race and it is a religion. About this Event
Adventure Entertainment is taking Finke: There and Back on the road,
and rides full throttle into venues this December. For the riders, the
spectators and the town of Alice Springs, the Finke Desert Race is
more than a race. Finke: There and Back delves below the surface to
uncover what makes them tick, what drives them to put their lives on
the line when they strap their helmets on. Paraplegic Isaac Elliott is
attempting to complete the race that he started a decade earlier.
Scruff Hamill, who lives in a shed full of bikes in Sydney, makes the
trip to tick off a bucket list event. Meanwhile, the factory race
teams at the head of the field fight for pride and to be named ‘King
of the Desert'. In this series of live stage events, the filmmakers
and riders hit the stage together to describe in detail why this event
is the most-loved race in the country, and why this film is such an
important film to watch for anyone who loves motorsports. The Tatts
Finke Desert Race is an off-road, multi-terrain two-day race for
bikes, cars, buggies and quads through desert country from Alice
Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) community. The race is held each
year on the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in June. “Finke” as it
is commonly known, is one of the biggest annual sporting events in the
Northern Territory and has the reputation of being one of the most
difficult off-road courses in one of the most remote places in the
world. Finke is unique and the most fun you can have with a helmet on!
