## Resource

David Walsh tied the all-time record with his sixth Finke Desert Race bike victory, while Travis Robinson capped his second straight car win—announcing it would be his last, dedicating the triumph to his late father. The 50th anniversary event shattered attendance records with over 150 cars and 670 bikes competing, though tragedy struck when a motorbike rider died on day one. Despite the somber moment, racing pressed on. Price’s bid for a 10th win ended in mechanical failure, while Campbell Hall and Liam Walsh shone on bikes, and Boston Morgan-Horan and the Bentley team led the cars. Hannah Bentley and Madison Healey continued their dominance, with Bentley claiming first female car finish and Healey securing her third Queen of the Desert title.
